Speaking at a local forum in Érd, Gyur­csány noted that excerpts released from secret service reports indicate that a recording of his speech ended up in Fidesz hands shortly before it was leaked to the media.

Fidesz executive vice president Lajos Kósa told ATV on Sunday that he and his party made several copies of the speech and did not deny that they distributed them to the media, saying “the people have a right to know if the prime minister is lying”.
