AGAIN PR- FIRM ATTACHED TO FREE DEMOCRATS WINS TENDER

It has created a political scandal again that Sawyer Miller Group Ltd won the communication tender of the No 4. underground line.

Sawyer Miller Group Ltd is led by Gábor Bruck, former campaign chief of Mayor Gábor Demszky. The officials would not disclose the names of persons judging the bids. László Gulyás, project manager of BKV DBR Metro said to Magyar Nemzet the committe had decided according to the regulations of the public procurement law and the Sawyer Miller Group Ltd would do the PR-work worth HUF 300 million for six years. László Szőke, faction leader of the Hungarian Democratic Forum in the metropolitan assembly finds the decision unethical and calls on Gábor Bruck to abrogate the contract while Mr Bruck says since the year 2000 he has had no financial connections with the capital city and the tender is valid.
