Judit Varga's ex-husband asked the lawyer for advice before the scandal broke out.
In Hír TV's Bezzeg program, viewers witnessed some exciting moments.
According to András Schiffer, Péter Magyar is "the love child of government propaganda and O1G", and it doesn't look like he would have been able to organize such a large demonstration without a tailwind. Schiffer also talked about who the sheep are.
Péter Magyar and the events related to him were of course discussed in the program among several topics. Lawyer András Schiffer, the former co-chairman of the LMP, answered the question of host Krisztián Lentulai, whether Péter Magyar is the "provider from the countryside" (discoverer of the K. Endre case):
"No. Péter Magyar is the love child of the ten-year-old government propaganda and O1G."
He also explained about Lentula's "tű":
"Here again, all I can say is that you can eat what you have cooked". In other words, according to him, two phenomena can make Péter Magyar: "both the Rogán propaganda and, after 2018-2019, a completely dumbed-down opposition propaganda reduced to O1G".
At the beginning of February, he still felt sorry for Péter Magyar
Then came the interesting thing, when
the talk turned to the fact that, according to Schiffer's own admission, he met Péter Magyar, who asked him for advice,
moreover, on February 2 - that is, right when the K. Endre case was published on 444, and three days before Péter Magyar's first relevant Facebook post.
"This was a private meeting, not of a political nature, and it shook me," said the lawyer, who did not think of any political consequences regarding what he heard there. At the time, he felt that "I met a person who was in an unfortunate situation in his private life, waiting for solidarity. I saw him then as a wild beast".
According to the lawyer, in relation to Magyar, "I did not perceive any such elaborate political concept or any kind of trickery, anything like that", and he still thinks that Péter Magyar's original motivation was of a private nature, and that he "really experienced being persecuted (...) And that even if I don't agree with this, or I have reservations about the reality of the matter, that if someone honestly experiences this, beyond a certain point, this should be respected, even if someone thinks this is absurd."
By the way, Schiffer himself stated in March that
"a lot of things can be done in politics, but the fact that someone makes an audio recording of the people closest to him raises a loyalty problem that should open people's eyes".
It didn't look like this from a Hungarian
Compared to this, Schiffer was surprised by the way Magyar entered the political scene, since then he sees the events after the fifth post as a kind of preliminary, teasing campaign.
After all, Magyar "entered the scene at the hour of his ex-wife's resignation, an hour or two after the president's wife left, and then the next day he appeared on the program of the self-proclaimed left-wing video channel supported by the American National Endowment for Democracy [that is, Partizán, Lentulai interjects]. There, the story was already strange to me, and I don't want to use uglier adjectives (...), somehow it was strangely synchronized with the fall of the president of the republic. And that was strange to me."
He added that he does not want to cast doubt on his original, honest motivation for Magyar, "that even through a family drama, he compared himself, even to himself." But then there are questions like:
why didn't he get up from that CEO chair after the first overpriced contract?
After that, why did he accept various state pardon jobs?
Schiffer is sure of one thing:
Bringing together such a demonstration, building such a conscious media campaign... I simply cannot imagine that from a person who otherwise has no public life experience in his own right from the previous years and decades."
Then, when it was said that the right-wing voter base, according to the opposition, follows the instructions like sheep, Schiffer said on the one hand:
right-wing voters are far more diverse than any political party might think,
on the other hand:
"Let's stop this sheep herding. On such a basis, then we are all sheep, because what can I say to the person who gets up in the Szent István park loft apartment saying "Viktor Orbán is a thief!" and every single public policy question and
who has the only explanation for all events in the world is that Orbán is a thief!, isn't that a sheep?".
