„PINTÉR IS A POLITICAL CLOWN’”

Sándor Csintalan, former head of Defend Ltd criticizes Sándor Pintér former Minister of the Interior because his firm, Civic Security Service Ltd, has made a HUF several million deal with the Hungarian Development Bank, headed by János Erős, having close contacts with the Hungarian Socialist Party. Csintalan calls Sándor Pintér a dummy and a political clown.

The company of Sándor Pintér who was Minister of the Interior in the Orbán government has been a winner of a capital development programme of the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB) and so the company could sell the state bank its package of shares worth nominally HUF 75 million for HUF 240 million. Boglár László, communications manager of the bank said the choice had been the result of a long process of evaluation by experts. In this way the bank has a 49 pc share in Civil Biztonsági Szolgálat Rt (CBSZ Company) and has already nominated its candidates for the posts of supervising directors in the company. MFB is already 60 pc owner of Defend Security Ltd, now under liquidation. Defend was attacked during the Orbán government for having state commissions which are now ’inherited’ by CBSZ. Sándor Csintalan said this confirmed Ibolya Dávid’s theory about the secret compromise of the two great parties and in the deal Sándor Pintér became a dummy and a political clown.
