Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony reacted on Friday to the news that Zoltán Szilágyi had become a member of the IOC as a representative of the Hungarian Sports Lawyers Society (Magyar Sportjogász Társaság). Karácsony announced that he would send a letter to the sports law society calling on it to delegate a different person to the body in his place. HVG ↗
The case is sensitive because Zoltán Szilágyi has been accused of violence by his daughter, former swimmer Liliána Szilágyi. According to available information, Szilágyi did not become a member of the body in his own right, but as a representative of an organization uniting sports lawyers. It was precisely this delegation that the Budapest mayor's response targeted. HVG ↗
In his response, Karácsony stated that he does not want to, and will not, be in the same company or in the same space as him. His position is aimed at having the relevant organization change its representation and send a different delegate to the body. The available information does not indicate whether the Hungarian Sports Lawyers Society has already responded to the call or whether it plans to reconsider the nomination. Index.hu ↗
Further developments will depend on the response of the sports law society and on whether the question of Szilágyi's membership in the body is also raised more broadly within the Hungarian sports community. Telex ↗
