The ruling Fidesz party has called on Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony to order an investigation into reports that the city’s leadership was planning to sell the City Hall building.
It’s hard to refrain from laughing out loud reading Gergely Karácsony’s article in Project Syndicate.
Magyar Nemzet attributed the fall to Karácsony’s “weak performance as a city leader”.
Zsolt Láng said this neglect is evident on the streets of Budapest, with traffic in a state of chaos and public spaces full of rubbish.
The Századvég Institute has found that opposition prime ministerial candidate, Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony, is unpopular with 57 percent of decided voters.
PM Orbán’s support among Hungarian adults continues to hover around 50 percent, with no discernible change due to the mayor’s announcement to run for prime minister.
State Secretary András Tállai said the new tax proposal threatens to do extraordinary damage.
Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch has accused Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony of “siding” with European commissioner Vera Jourova and Katarina Barley, a European Parliament vice-president.
László Baán recently asked Mayor Karácsony to withdraw the proposal and provide an opportunity for “proper talks” on the Liget Project.
Der neu gewählte Oberbürgermeister von Budapest glaubt, die westlichen Medien täuschen zu können, indem er versucht, das De-facto-Bündnis der Opposition mit der antisemitischen Rechten Ungarns schönreden zu können. Aber die Jobbik ist immer noch dieselbe antisemitische Anti-Roma-Gruppe rechtsextremer Radikaler.
The newly elected mayor of Budapest thinks he can fool the western media by trying whitewash the opposition’s de facto alliance with Hungary’s anti-Semitic far-right. But Jobbik is still the same, anti-Semitic, anti-Roma group of far-right radicals.
The prime minister said he had raised the issue of 15-20 projects at a meeting with Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony with a view to coming to an agreement on them. “I had to withdraw a lot of things; it wasn’t pleasant for us to give up dreams,” he said.
