The police have launched an investigation into whether four government officials used their work hours to collect signatures for Fidesz candidate Erős Gábor during a March 9 event. The 24.hu website reported this based on photos showing the officials with folders containing Erős Gábor’s name and the Fidesz slogan. The officials’ presence at the event was confirmed through attendance records, but the government office stated that the employees were on leave and one had properly used the official car for personal purposes. The office also denied giving any instructions for political activities.
Bias read (Center): The article presents facts without overt ideological framing. It reports on an ongoing investigation and includes both the allegations and the response from the involved government office. There is no clear emphasis on one side over another, and the tone remains neutral throughout.
