According to Szentkirályi, the head of the Climate Agency spoke in a podcast about the feasibility of banning cars over ten years old from Budapest, thus helping to create zero-emission zones, Index writes.
In a video published on her Facebook page on Thursday, Alexandra Szentkirályi said that according to the Ministry of Interior, there are currently 440,000 cars older than ten years on the streets of the capital. That is 61 percent of all cars in Budapest.
In a comment on his social media page, Gergely Karácsony was asked, “what is true out of this?”. The major provided a short but to-the-point answer:
Nothing.
The head of the Climate Agency also responded to Szentkirályi’s comments. According to Ada Ámon, she never said what Szentkirályi claims, and assessed the video of the candidate for mayor as the latest product of Fidesz propaganda.

What are some of the most popular attractrions that bring millions to Cuba? The gorgeous old cars, the well trained and educated staff at hotels, lounges, eateries, the weather and scenery. That brings us back to old cars again. I drive a 41 yr old T D Benz & I’d just like someone to try to block my entrance to anywhere! Infact, where ever I go men come over to chat, peek inside, rais the hood if I’m willing….at any of my properties when the car is outside peopel will turn around and come into my driveway for a peek and chat if I’m doing my daily yardwork. So maybe the thing to do would be to encourage people to take really good care of their older cars, limit their milage by good planning of errands etc so that they can some day show off their cars in Show & Shine weekend gatherings & preplaned tours of communities. The cancel culture mentality is bogus anyway you look at it. Like the disgusting hippie culture of the ’60s that brainwashed women into giving away the milk without longterm benefit or security, for smarter members that passed and this latest anti cohesive sociatal ideology will too. Even just throwing it out there is nuts.
Yes, he does. He is a globalist-socialist puppet who is working full-steam-ahead on Agenda 2030, 15-Minute Cities, “open borders,” and other globalist measures designed to make us in the developed world poorer, colder, less mobile, less safe, and less independent. How he managed to snow so many people to vote for him defines belief. Roll on 9 June, baby!
@ilona I do not know when you were last in Cuba … Food, , clean water, medical care, reliable electricity, and food are all currently BIG issues at the moment. Went there this year, and the local requests ranged from canned food to medicine to a water purifier and a bicycle…
Re the soundbite – the usual Politician stuff. Smear and move on, hope it sticks. Cannot un-ring the bell. Especially when it comes to the Holy Cow, cars.
Everyone is figuring out how to make this green transition thing work – transportation is one of the elements, and it will take time and a lot of effort. Climate change is a serious matter – and in my opinion we have an obligation to future generations (otherwise – why breed?).
Actually, if we would really be living in the Land of Milk and Honey as our Politicians would have us believe, why are many of us making do with the discards that do not pass the roadworthiness tests in the rest of the (Western) EU Member States?
