Background of Hungarian politicians involved in the tragic accident of Szeklerland?
The tragic collapse of the Tamási Áron High School dormitory in Székelyudvarhely (Odorheiu Secuiesc) on 18 December has left the community in shock. Investigations into the incident have revealed a connection between the disaster and prominent Hungarian politicians.
László Kövér and his inner circle
Transtelex.ro reports that at the center of this tragic event are key figures, including László Kövér, the President of the Hungarian Parliament, and his Chief of Staff, László Veress. Additionally, Károly-Róbert Stefán, a project manager, and György Laczkó, a school director, have been implicated in the chain of events leading to the collapse, according to the UH.ro portal.
The project manager’s ties to Kövér’s Chief of Staff
Károly-Róbert Stefán, a civil engineer and the project manager for the dormitory’s renovation has close links to László Kövér’s Chief of Staff, László Veress. This connection raises questions about the transparency and independence of the renovation project. It highlights the intertwined relationships within the decision-making structure.
A history of real estate scandal
The name of Károly-Róbert Stefán surfaced a few years ago in connection with a real estate scandal involving László Veress. Reports indicated Veress had used funds intended for Hungarians abroad to purchase real estate, including a luxury apartment and a sizable house near Odorheiu Secuiesc. Reports identified Károly-Róbert Stefán as the founder of the Hungarian Talents Without Borders Foundation (Magyar Tehetségekért Határtalanul Alapítvány), linking him to the scandal and raising concerns about financial mismanagement.
Decision-making process and lack of oversight
Reports from UH.ro also suggest that key decisions regarding the construction were made by project manager Károly-Róbert Stefán and director György Laczkó. Sources indicate that the Hungarian government, as the financier, played a decisive role in appointing Stefán as the project manager, potentially influencing other aspects of the construction.
Unanswered questions and legal implications
Despite attempts to seek clarification from those involved, substantial answers have not been provided. Károly-Róbert Stefán, when contacted, did not deny ordering the digging of a trench but failed to provide detailed responses. The school’s director, György Laczkó, has hired a lawyer as a spokesperson, but the promised responses to inquiries have yet to materialise. The lack of transparency has further fueled concerns about accountability and responsibility.
Hungarian tax money and the Bethlen Gábor Fund
Recent reports by Magyar Hang have highlighted the financing of the construction project in Odorheiu Secuiesc using Hungarian tax money. Questions have been raised, and public data requests have been directed to the Bethlen Gábor Fund regarding their involvement. Authorities seek insights into the fund’s potential contributions to the tragic accident. As of now, responses from the fund are pending, leaving the public in anticipation of crucial information.
In the wake of this tragedy, the community mourns the loss of a student’s life. The complex web of political and financial issues underscores the urgency for a comprehensive investigation and accountability.
