Methodology

holadella.hu shows a single number: how much public money has verifiably been recovered under Hungary’s asset-recovery program.

What the counter counts

An amount enters the counter only when its repayment is verified by a final court ruling or an official source. Admission takes two independent checks separated in time: the exact figure must appear verbatim in the official source, and the source is re-checked before admission. Every entry’s source and decision path is traceable. The verified total is never expressed as a share of the stated estimates.

The promise log

The promise log records statutory obligations and public pledges, always with a source. A pledge is recorded only when its maker said it themselves; what others state about someone belongs in the Stated amounts band. Row statuses come from a closed vocabulary: pending, fulfilled, deadline passed, withdrawn. A withdrawn row carries the retraction’s date and source; if the deadline had already passed before the withdrawal, both facts are shown. Fulfilment requires its own verifying source; an overdue row means only that the deadline passed and we found no source verifying fulfilment — a finding about sources, never a judgment. When a deadline is inferred from a rule rather than quoted verbatim, the derivation is stated next to it.

Sources

Official sources: statutes, gazettes, authorities, courts. Press sources: registered outlets operating under editorial responsibility. A claim naming a person requires an official source or two independent press sources. For every entry we store the source link, the publication date, the capture time and the verbatim quote carrying the fact.

Publication

The site updates automatically. Every update passes machine checks before publication; if a check fails, the site does not update and keeps serving the last good version.

What the site does not do

• It does not judge: it reports statuses, never verdicts of its own.
• It does not predict: the future appears only as statutory deadlines.
• It does not rewrite the past: content fixes appear as new, dated entries. Requests to erase personal data are handled separately, case by case, as described on the privacy page (Hungarian).
• It publishes no number without a source and never rounds for effect.
• It shows no ads, sets no cookies, tracks nobody, and accepts no money in any form.

Reporting an error

If you find an error, report it as described on the corrections page (Hungarian). Under our self-imposed deadline we respond substantively within five working days, and the fix appears as a public, dated entry.
