After reviewing all the documents, we also discovered that Dolomit Kft. supplied building materials for further state projects: the company delivered concrete elements for the construction of the M3 highway and crushed stone for the railway renovation between Budapest and Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r.<\/p>\n
Before the publication of our articles, we always send questions to Dolomit Kft., majority owned by Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n. In the past years, we called the company several times and have sent a total of ten e-mails, but they have all remained unanswered. We would like to know the followings:<\/p>\n These were questions that we wanted to ask in G\u00e1nt as well. Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n, however, wanted to wrap up the conversation quickly as he stepped in front of us: \u201cHoney, all I want to say is: there is a coronavirus pandemic, we are not accepting any visitors. Thank you for coming, goodbye,\u201d he said. Although we were all wearing protective masks and even suggested that we could also talk over the phone, Orb\u00e1n replied \u201cabsolutely no way\u201d and then closed the door behind him.<\/p>\n On our way out, we hung around in front of the building for a few more minutes. Then Orb\u00e1n showed up again \u2013 to chase us away. This was the time when we had a chance to ask him more questions, but Orb\u00e1n stated that he did not give his consent to record him on camera. (Taking into account the relevant Hungarian laws, we respect his decision and only provide below the transcript of some parts of our conversation.)<\/p>\n – Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n (GYO) I have been polite up until now. Listen, I\u2019m famous for being rude and I don\u2019t want to be rude, especially not with a lady.<\/em><\/p>\n – Blanka Z\u00f6ldi (BZ): We would like to ask about public affairs, about …<\/em><\/p>\n – GYO: I don’t care.<\/em><\/p>\n – BZ: Viktor Orb\u00e1n said earlier that he did not consider it good if your company is involved in state projects.<\/em><\/p>\n – GYO: Sweetie… There\u2019s a good weather, a beautiful weather, we can talk about that. In a mine, unfortunately, if it rains, it counts as a bad weather. When the sun shines, we have a good weather, too. Goodbye.<\/em><\/p>\n – BZ: Maybe we could look around in the mine in such a good weather?<\/em><\/p>\n – GYO: Sweetie, don’t even try, because I’m running out of patience and I’ll be rude. (…) The other thing is: don\u2019t harass an eighty-year-old man. Goodbye.<\/em><\/p>\n – BZ: I do not want to harass you, I want to ask about public affairs.<\/em><\/p>\n – OGY: It is harassment, harassment, literally harassment. Please leave.<\/em><\/p>\n Meanwhile, an employee of the mining company started recording us on video, then Orb\u00e1n also took out his phone: \u201cIf you will allow me, I\u2019ll just take a photo to remember this,\u201d he said while we kept asking him:<\/p>\n – BZ: When will you answer these questions?<\/em><\/p>\n – GYO: When the epidemic is over.<\/em><\/p>\n – BZ: So, is this a promise for an interview when the epidemic is over?<\/em><\/p>\n – GYO: I don’t give any interviews. All the information you need is available at the business registry. That’s it.<\/em><\/p>\n Then Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n got into his car. \u201cI hope I won\u2019t have to report you for trespassing,\u201d he said through the open car window as he was pulling out from the parking lot.<\/p>\n Gy\u0151z\u0151 Orb\u00e1n had already made it clear that he does not appreciate the attention of journalists. In 2002, Tam\u00e1s Dezs\u0151, a photographer of a print daily tried to take photos of the mine in G\u00e1nt. Orb\u00e1n’s father, however, smashed his camera on the ground. The photographer reported Orb\u00e1n\u2019s father to the police, which launched an investigation against him but the case was dropped in the end.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.direkt36.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/betonelemek201117_open_ENG.png\")
