Felcsút Land Data Kept Secret
- 4 Apr 2016 9:00 AM
A journalist with investigative website Direkt36 has been denied access to public data regarding who owns land around Felcsút, where the prime minister owns a house and other properties. A clerk at the Bicske sub-county land office was initially helpful, the reporter wrote, but then said she was not permitted to hand over any more files.
The head of the office said the journalist had looked at too many records, that her inquiry amounted to a “bulk information request” and that the owners of the land would have to agree to release the data.
However, these restrictions do not appear in the freedom of information act, Direkt36 argues.
