Harmincnégy éve még az Edda és egy simlis cég közösen akarta megmenteni a Velencei-tavat

In 1993, Pataky Attila, a member of the Hungarian rock band Edda, expressed concern over the declining water level of Lake Balaton, which threatened recreational opportunities for young people. During an interview with Kelet-Magyarország, he mentioned that the band was working with the Unique Kft., a company known for importing American cars, to raise awareness and support for preserving the lake. The Unique Kft. was founded by Borhegyi György, a businessman who had lived in the United States before returning to Hungary in 1990. The company capitalized on the post-communist era’s economic shifts, offering Americans cars at a discount, which made it popular among Hungarians seeking Western-style goods. The partnership between Edda and Unique Kft. not only supported environmental concerns but also increased the company’s visibility through the band’s influence.
