DK submits request for data of public interest on Oct-Nov hospital deaths
The opposition Democratic Coalition has submitted a request for data of public interest about the number of hospital deaths in October and November because the party is concerned that the government has manipulated the figures and kept real death figures a secret.
DK spokesman Balázs Barkóczi told an online press conference on Monday that official Hungarian statistics of recent weeks show a “globally unique trend” because no matter how the number of infection cases, people in hospital and on ventilators was increasing, the number of deaths was not going up.
He said he wished this was true but it was practically impossible because anywhere in the world where infections were growing deaths were also growing.
DK also expects the government to explain how it is possible that there was a significant increase in the number of deaths among people aged above 65 during the autumn but only a fraction of these deaths were caused by coronavirus according to the official statistics, he said.
