What happened? The Operetta Theater has changed data of public interest underlying our previous article
Someone made a mistake, or something completely different happened? After Blikk’s article on Friday, we were watching surprising changes to the Budapest Operetta Theater website. The data of the tables under the tab of the Public Interest tab, on which we based on our article on the theater spending, were changed without indicating it separately. Of course, we wanted to know the modifications of the state -run institution, but we did not receive an answer to our sent questions again.
« Based on their article, we noticed that the table containing public information in the public interest referred to on the website, which was refined out of the website, was made, with an employer warning of the financial director responsible for data management, » he replied.
By law, the subject of contracts of five million forints or more than five million forints, the name and duration of the contract, the name and duration of the contract must be published, which they did at first.
« In summary, the table under investigation must include the expected payments of the contracts in force in the first quarter, not the amounts already paid, » says the explanation in the answer, which also revealed that Péter Sándor, to whom In the first version, a tens of millions were included in the name of breasthe shouldn’t have been in the table.
« The name of the artist Péter Sándor was mistakenly on the commitment/contract, as we do not have to include it under the law. Apologizing to the artist, we deleted it in accordance with the actual subject of the contract, » the theater press department wrote in a letter to our editorial office. An annual payment is expected, and since this does not reach the net five million forints, the data set has been deleted from the table. ”
Meanwhile, Blikk has learned that the press department has sent a letter to the company saying they were answered, and they also apologize to colleagues who were in an awkward position due to poorly recharged data.
