Péter Magyar announced in a Facebook post on Saturday evening who the other vice president of the party is besides him.

It is about an actor whose name some may have already met in domestic cultural life, when he threatened a journalist.

"With Márk Radnai, the other vice-chairman of the TISZA Party" , Péter Magyar posted this short text on Facebook on Saturday evening. But he revealed more than that in the comments.

Márk was one of the main organizers of our events so far, he is also responsible for the video content. Theater and film director + patriot

- wrote Péter Magyar.

By the way, Márk Radnai's name has already been linked to Péter Magyar's campaign, but it was only revealed from this post that he is the other vice-president besides Magyar (how long he has held the position is not yet known).

He made headlines in 2015 by threatening journalists 

According to his unofficial biography, Radnai graduated from the University of Theater and Film Arts in 2012, in the class of Gábor Máté, majoring in acting. In the meantime, in 2010, he simultaneously enrolled in theater directing, where Gábor Székely and Viktor Bodó were his class teachers. In 2011, he founded the 011 Creative Group, with which they started to perform a progressive, film-like theater specifically aimed at young people, unusual in domestic theater.

A case that caused a greater response in the public can be linked to it:

In 2015, as the director of the atrium theater, he threatened journalist and theater critic Tamás Koltai to break his fingers one by one, while also calling him a "harmful cockroach"

As it turned out, Radnai took it upon himself that Tamás Koltai repeatedly disparaged his work and, among other things, told him that he couldn't direct at all. Átrium later removed Radnai's play from its program due to the scandal and distanced itself from her expression.

Márk Radnai later apologized to Tamás Koltai on Facebook, but the Átrium management did not consider this to be enough. Moreover, in the meantime, it turned out that he had similarly threatened another journalist.

The director later said that the reason for his sudden upset was not Tamás Koltai's criticism, but a private telephone conversation with his employer, where - (reiterating Koltai's opinion) he was told that he could not direct, "and it would be good if someone would teach him ".

Radnai later the Tomorrow tali! he worked as the director of the series, then he also directed the second season of Ageless Love and became the main director of Dear Heirs. In 2020, he founded the platform SzínházTV, which deals with theater broadcasts, and in 2023 he directed a play at the Thália Theater.
