HirTV reported on Friday that the title of Gyurcsany's essay was identical to that of a paper submitted to the Pecs teacher training college by his former brother-in-law Szabolcs Rozs in 1980. Gyurcsany told HirTV that he had probably read Rozs's essay and used it as a source.

Gyurcsany told ATV Wednesday evening that he did not copy his essay, plagiarism is out of the question and he did not steal any papers from the University of Pecs library.

Last  Tuesday Gyurcsany said he will sue those who accuse him of plagiarism.
