Fidesz candidate kicked off 2024 elections campaign by slamming Mayor Karácsony in Budapest
Change language:
Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest, has failed to deliver on the promises he made in his 2019 campaign, Alexandra Szentkirályi, the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance’s mayoral candidate, said on Friday.
In a Facebook video discussing Karácsony’s track record, Szentkiralyi said the mayor had promised to make City Hall Park “nice and green”, but all that had happened instead was that the car park there had been “rearranged a little” and a “tiny garden” added. “The city deserves a lot more,” she said, adding that change was needed in Budapest.
Meanwhile, the opposition LMP party said Karácsony had “failed to keep even his simplest promise” that one-third of executives on the boards of Budapest-based companies would be women.
