Lőrinc Mészáros has now become a symbol of institutionalized corruption in Hungary: he is the prime minister's childhood friend, the all-powerful master of the Felcsút heart chakra, a permanent winner of land tenders and public procurements - and by the way, he is the richest person in the country and the 2035th richest person in the entire world. According to him, he owes his success to God, luck and Viktor Orbán: in our two-part series, we investigated how this formula with Mészáros's compactness can be further broken down: where did Mészáros start, how did his gigantic company empire, which encompasses all areas of the country, come together today, and How does the economic-political entanglement appearing through your person characterize the National Cooperation System? In the first part, we will look at the childhood ties between Mészáros and Viktor Orbán, how, with the help of Lajos Simicska, he became the governor of the small kingdom organized around the Felcsút stadium and soccer academy, and how he became the mayor of the village, and then how the area changed with the help of state land tenders, Fejér county and one of the largest landowners in the country.
