March 2020, Indamedia was purchased by Miklós Vaszily, a businessman with close ties to the Fidesz political party, and the president of TV2. Although Vaszily had been the CEO of Index during the late 2000s, some already saw this as a cause for concern as Vaszily's previous ventures in media often resulted in a strong shift in content and views. These fears were quickly confirmed as Szabolcs Dull announced that Index was in danger of losing its editorial independence in a letter co-signed by most of the website's journalists on 21 June 2020. The reason for this was reportedly a cost reduction plan authored by Index founder Gábor Gerényi who had left the newspaper in 2012. In particular, this plan would have involved a drastic reduction of Index's editorial team, moving most of the journalists from an employee status to contractors, an action seen as extremely destructive by the editorial staff. Chairman László Bodolai dismissed these claims, stating that this plan will not go ahead. Bodolai also removed Dull from his position in Index's board of directors, although he was allowed to keep his job as editor-in-chief. The following day saw the resignation of CEO András Pusztay. He was replaced with lawyer Zsolt Ződi. Just a week later, Ződi also resigned. Dull's job contract as editor-in-chief with index was terminated on 22 July. This was followed by the resignation of 70 of the Index's employees just two days later, representing the vast majority of its staff. Part of the staff announced they'd be launching a spiritual successor news service called Telex. Related services Index is also related to a wide variety of other websites and services. With the exception of Index Fórum, these are now all owned by Indamedia, a separate corporation, but they still have close ties with Index, and often get featured on the website. Blog.hu: started by Index in 2005, blog.hu is the largest Hungarian blogging service. Content from blog.hu blogs is regularly featured on Index2, Index's "second frontpage". Many of the blogs are run by Index employees, such as consumer protection blog Tékozló Homár and television blog Comment:com. Others, such as Urbanista, were eventually acquired by Index and turned into a regular feature on the site itself. Indavideó: a video sharing website owned by Inda-Labs, a spinoff of Index. Although Indavideó is still Index's main video sharing site, Index is now also active on YouTube. Indafotó:
