Unfathomable! Surprise! This picture was taken last night on the stage of the Bálint house, where Kriszta Hadas talked to my sister and me for 2 hours as part of her Family Tales series! It all took place in a divine atmosphere, accompanied by great laughter.

Kriszta was one of my favorite television journalists, her preparation, competence, and honest insight were impressive. He strongly and decisively stood up for important issues. My brother and I felt honored to be invited to his stage talk show. I share the pain and grief of the entire family and the Hungarian journalistic profession,” he wrote on his page.

It’s unfathomable, because it’s impossible that Kriszta is no longer here! The world has become poorer now! I’m grateful that you were my colleague and my excellent editor-in-chief!

Her unique style of reporting—rooted in thorough research and honest insight—set a standard for aspiring journalists. She was particularly noted for her work on the weekly report magazine, Napló, which became a staple for viewers. Her ability to connect with the audience while addressing crucial societal issues was truly remarkable.

Dr. Székely: Claudia’s words resonate with many of us. Kriszta wasn’t just a colleague; she was a friend, a mentor. In any profession, those bonds matter, and it’s clear that she had a profound impact on the people she worked with. This outpouring of emotion speaks to the kind of person she was—both professionally and personally.
