Change language:
The State Secretary of the Interior Ministry has announced that police are intensifying night and weekend patrols and raids to ensure the safety of residents and visitors in Budapest’s party district.
Constant police presence and raids in Budapest’s party district
Police presence in Budapest’s party district will be increased during weekends and nights, as this is when public security requires the most reinforcement, Bence Rétvári stated in a written response to Lajos Oláh MEP.
The State Secretary explained that the party district covers an area of approximately one square kilometre, including Budapest’s V. district, Erzsébet tér/Deák tér, Széchenyi István tér, Budapest’s VI. district, Király utca, Nagymező utca, Budapest’s VII. district, Rákóczi út between Blaha Lujza tér and Király utca, and the Nagykörút from Blaha Lujza tér to Jászai Mari tér. He added that in Inner-Erzsébetváros alone, 32 police officers patrol on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with 58 officers patrolling on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
This is supplemented by one major monthly criminal and law enforcement operation by the BRFK, involving an average of 100-150 police officers and associated services.
Rétvári noted that both experience and statistics indicate a greater need to strengthen public safety at night.
Very good.
I cannot understand why a couple or a group of friends or whatever can’t go to a restaurant, have a nice dinner, maybe take in a show, finish it off with a couple drinks, and quietly proceed home. What’s wrong with that?
Why does “fun” entail getting hammered, screaming like an animal, losing control of your physical and mental faculties, urinating and vomiting everywhere, and worse???
If the latter’s your jam, take a hike. Go elsewhere.
