Former deputy mayor László Tüke, deputy director of József Attila Primary School, is running as a mayoral candidate in Pusztaszabolcs in the July municipal election, 444.hu reports. The thing is interesting (though not surprising) because

It was Tüke who had previously hit a fifth-grader with a diary, and for this reason he received a written warning from the school district center in 2019.

The minutes revealed that a conflict arose between two classmates, a boy and a girl, during the holiday break. László Tüke, the class teacher, was informed about this

he burst into the chemistry room, pushed a bench in front of the room door, jumped on it, pulled out the school radio speaker by unplugging it, then started yelling at the children and hit one of them in the head with the diary.

This was also acknowledged by Tüke in the minutes he signed, the paper reminds.

Although the parents later withdrew their report, the head of the school district nevertheless conducted the investigation and, based on personal interviews, came to the surprising conclusion that “the fact of abuse cannot be proven beyond a doubt”, even though Tüke himself said in the minutes that he had hit the child.

The head of the school district gave Tüke a written warning because “during the disagreement between the children, he did not behave in the way that is normally expected of a teacher in such a situation”.

At the time, László Tüke told 444 that he did not think there had been any abuse. When the paper asked why he then signed the protocol in which he admits to hitting the child, he replied that “it does not contain the facts”.
