Pénztáros Lőrinc ("cashier" Lőrinc)

Lőrinc Mészáros (born 24 February 1966)[1] is a Hungarian businessman, and former politician, who served as Mayor of the Hungarian village Felcsút between 2011 and 2018.[2][3][4] With an estimated wealth of 436 billion forint ($1.3 billion) as of 2022, he is, according to Forbes, the third richest person in Hungary.[5][6] Several media outlets refer to him as "oligarch".[7][8][9][10]

His personality generates regular social discourse, because from a gas-fitter close to bankruptcy, Mészáros became the richest man of Hungary in a matter of years – what several analysts explain with him having close ties to high-ranking members of the Fidesz party.[11][12][13][14] After the 2010 elections, his wealth doubled annually, and he became the mayor of the village where his childhood friend and current Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán grew up. This has led to several media outlets calling him Viktor Orbán's strawperson on a regular basis.[15][16][17][18] The significance of this relationship is summarized by Mészáros in 2017: "My fortune is thanks to three factors: God, luck, and Viktor Orbán."[19]

Early business

[edit]

Mészáros started his career as a gas-fitter in the early nineties. The company started to develop and got more and more important jobs in nearby settlements, working in residential parks and larger buildings. In the middle of the 2000s, however, the company received fewer orders and lost most of its market share. By 2007 the company was making loss with minimal orders.[20]

Since 2010 he rapidly accumulated his wealth.[21] By 2013 he became the 88th richest Hungarian with HUF6.9 billion assets, rising to 23.8 billion in 2016, and to 120 billion by 2017, making him the 5th wealthiest Hungarian. According to a report by RTL Klub, in 2016 Mészáros companies, in consortium, had a total public procurement revenue of HUF225 billion.[22][20]

Politics

[edit]

Mészáros won the local elections in Felcsút in 2011 representing the governing Fidesz–KDNP. After his election, Felcsút saw fast development, with several large state and EU funded projects (football stadium, touristic light railway, artificial lake) being realized.[23] Mészáros also became president of the Felcsút New Generation Training Foundation, which was founded earlier by Viktor Orbán.

The fortunes of Mészáros and its family companies continued to grow in 2018, winning public procurements worth of HUF259 billion, 93% of which came from the European Union.[24] In April 2018, Mészáros retired as the Mayor of Felcsút "to solely concentrate on his economic interests".[25]

Later business

[edit]

By May 2018, his and his wife's Konzum Private Equity Fund had traded at 280–300 billion Forint, making Mészáros the second richest man in the country. By March 2019 he became the 2057th wealthiest man on the planet according to Forbes.[26]

In the years between 2010 and 2019 among others he acquired, several hotels, the second largest power plant of Hungary (Mátra Power Plant, providing about 15% of the country's electricity). He acquired several radio stations, newspaper publishers, and the nationwide television channel "Echo". These became part of his holding company, Opimus (later Opus Global Nyrt.), which grew into Hungary's biggest media empire.[19]

In 2017, together with his longtime business partner László Szíjj, they acquired 81.5% of the Hungarian Foreign Trade Bank (MKB), the fourth-biggest commercial bank in Hungary.[27]

His name is associated with CIG Pannonia.[28]

His construction companies won bids in the two largest (state funded) infrastructure projects of the last five decades: the Paks-2 Nuclear Power Plant construction and the Budapest-Belgrade railway.[29][30][31][32]

Atlatszo.hu, an opposition news site, compiled a list of all of his companies.[33]

Enrichment

[edit]

Lőrinc Mészáros is still a key player in Felcsút, and since 2010 he has become even richer than ever: in 2013 he was the 88th richest Hungarian with a wealth of 6.9 billion,[35][36] which rose to 31st place by 2016,[37] and 2017, already in 5th place with HUF 120 billion in assets.[14] His assets started to grow sharply, mainly through public procurement after 2010,[38] which his companies gained under unusual business conditions.[39] In the meantime, the mayor has built a real company empire that includes a number of companies with different profiles, from the construction industry to agriculture to the local school buffet. Some of these companies are run by his children.[40][41][42][43][44] Mészáros Foundation has on several occasions commissioned companies run by his children to do construction in Felcsút.[45] According to the RTL Klub, in 2016 the companies of Mészáros were able to post a total revenue of HUF 225 billion from public procurement.[46] The government related wealth is strengthened by the fact that on several occasions Mészáros's companies sent orders to the companies of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's family in connection with the procurements, including Orbán's father, Orbán Győző, family businesses as well.[47]

In the autumn of 2016, Opimus Press Zrt., with an unclear background close to Mészáros, acquired 100% of the shares of Mediaworks Hungary Zrt., the operator of the suspended Népszabadság publisher. Behind the transaction, several have speculated a political showdown after the paper previously reported embarrassing affairs to Fidesz.[48] Mészáros, however, in an interview with Bors, denied that he had bought the paper and claimed that he did not have any shares in Opimus. He also denied the news that his confidant, Zoltán Csík, would be a member of the board. He had no opinion on the closure of the paper itself, but said the media was a "weird world" where character assassination attempts were being made against him. He added that he wanted to deal with his existing companies in the future and that he was a businessman, not a politician.[49] On the other hand, it became public knowledge that he had bought Echo TV, stating that he "wanted a good TV" on which Fidesz could rely in the campaign, but denying that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had a say in the operation of the TV channel. He also said here that he was fine With Lajos Simicska, who had previously quarreled with Orbán, he claims that Simicska had previously helped him thrive in business.[50] It was later revealed that Mészáros had bought from Tamás Gyárfás the building, which previously housed Nap TV complex of Angol Street, to move Echo TV there.[51][52] The move took place in December 2017. On 3 March 2017,[53] Mészáros acquired a 16.9 percent stake in Opimus Plc., which can be linked to the closure of Népszabadság. After the transaction, the company's share price began to rise spectacularly.[54][55]

[edit]

On 30 March 2017, 444.hu and Hír TV visited Felcsút to participate in the extraordinary and public meeting of the representative body, but Mészáros did not want to be recorded at the meeting, so he wanted to exclude the cameras from the meeting and police to enforce this. However, under the current legislation, the press can attend and record the meeting, so that the correspondents could eventually stay. They also wanted to ask the mayor about his role in Opimus, but Mészáros did not answer.[56]

According to the Napi.hu April 2017 summary, Mészáros' wealth jumped 100 billion in one year, making him the fifth in the list of the richest Hungarians.[14] Even in a year of unprecedented growth and wealth, other significant deals have been made with his companies:

At the beginning of the year, the Curia confirmed also that, contrary to his previous claim, Mészáros was considered a public figure.[124] This was done after the previous journalists of Heti Válasz wrote: It was in Mészáros' interest that he acquired and liquidated the paper in 2019.[125]

Companies and enterprises belonging to Mészáros' interests also received tourism subsidies. The near Lake Neusiedl was construction of a public holiday complex also started by one of Mészáros's construction companies earlier this year, which also damaged the surrounding roads, but also caused outrage among local holiday home owners to demolish their holiday homes at no cost to the state, did not provide compensation.

It also turned out that two-thirds of the HUF 300 billion that could be distributed by the Hungarian Tourism Agency went to 0.1% of the applicants, who happened to be companies belonging to Mészáros' interests. What's more, it hit hardest in the year 2020, when a number of other tourism businesses struggled to survive.

The construction of the Budapest Multifunctional Sports Hall, built by the companies of Mészáros and other businessmen close to the government, also became ten times more expensive than the project.[126][127] A former mill company involved in a multi-billion dollar fraud also managed to obtain a refurbished mill at a price.[128]

According to the court, Mészáros, as a public business figure, must tolerate criticism, as Fekete-Győr said opinions, not slanders.[132]

In June, Forbes republished the list of the richest Hungarians, again led by Mészáros, whose wealth grew by 185 billion in 2020, despite the coronavirus epidemic, making it the first with HUF 479.4 billion.[133][134]

On 11 June, he was interviewed at the Index, where he praised most of his own businesses and criticized critical opinions with him and his companies.[135] After Mészáros's earlier statements were often more robed and controversial, it was a matter of an interview – especially since Index.hu also became close to the government.[136] However, the more sophisticated-style interview still had more contradictory and less realistic statements. He also talked about taking Munkácsy pictures from the Imre Pákh art collector, but according to Pákh there was no such thing, only a possible museum location was agreed upon.[137]

According to expert opinions, the cost of such work may not exceed HUF 30–50 billion, so the issue of overpricing has arisen here as well.[140]

According to Napi.hu, in 2021 Mészáros donated the most in the year, although the data on the list were based on self-reports. According to this, he spent nearly one and a half billion this year on charity, compared to 5.1 billion in the five years before, which is roughly 1% of his wealth. According to András Fekete-Győr, Mészáros, who was enriched with public money, should return 99% of his wealth to the Hungarian society, not 1%.[141][142]

After the media questioned how is this spectacular growth possible, Lorinc Meszaros responded "Maybe I’m smarter than Zuckerberg". The stock prices of another Mészáros company, Opimus Global Nyrt., underwent another spectacular eight-fold increase in less than a year.[19]
