I’ll buy it
Since March, Márton Bitay, former Secretary of State for Lands, has owned a consulting firm that was once well established in government circles, writes mfor.hu. Among the previous owners of Strategopolis was former government spokesman András Giró-Szász.
Bitay was bailed out last February, the company was renamed in March of this year, and has been its CEO since November. Strategopolis still received significant government orders a few years ago, but its revenue dropped significantly in 2019.
The company was owned from 2017 to March this year by Mark Mechler, a lawyer whose office worked for the Ministry of Agriculture. Bitay received a severance pay of 8.8 million when he was driven.
Márton Bitay led the land purchase program in 2015-2016, when a large amount of arable land was auctioned, and Lőrinc Mészáros became one of the biggest winners. The name of the former secretary of state was noted by the majority when it was revealed that although he received millions of salaries from two places according to his wealth declarations, his assets decreased in five years according to his 2014 and 2019 wealth declarations, according to K-Monitor analysis . His name had already appeared in times of traffic, since Bitay was a member of the jury that judged the applications.
In 2017, Strategopolis received another commission of 560 million from the Prime Minister’s Office, which was valid until 2020. Between 2012 and 2016, the company also earned hundreds of millions in public purchases from Emmi, the National Development Agency and the Office of the National Assembly. However, the biggest problem was public television. Transparent wrote that MTVA commissioned Strategopolis Kft. To produce the news for $ 42 million a year, which is then resold to commercial radio stations.
