Budapest municipality to launch information campaign against Orbán cabinet measures
The municipal government of Budapest is launching an information campaign with a view to providing a picture of the situation in the capital, Gergely Karácsony, the city’s mayor, told an online press conference on Monday.
Karácsony said the idea was to strengthen Budapest’s community and persuade the central government to scrap its curbs on the local administration.
Information will be made available concerning the operation of public services and the city’s finances, as well as its public services.
The campaign is also geared towards making the public aware of Budapest’s strength in fighting “government measures”.
“We can join forces to make the government lift the austerity measures” imposed on localities, he added.
The mayor said the city’s community would be “greatly needed in the following period”.
Karácsony noted the coronavirus epidemic and associated economic crisis, as well as “government austerity measures affecting local governments”, as factors to contend with.

It seems that Commissar Karácsony has not got enough money to indulge his whims.
Forget the fact that his coalition of left-wing incompetent half-wits cannot even manage a pre-funded school fete, yet alone oversee the daily running of a major European city.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING WITH RENOVATIONS TO THE ‘CHAIN BRIDGE’, COMRADE COMMISSAR – YET ALONE ROADS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ?
Ignore the ENORMOUS surplus of funds that these mental midgets inherited from the previous Fidesz-dominated Budapest Municipal Council.
HOW MANY BILLIONS WERE IN THE COUNCIL’S COFFERS THAT THEY HAVE SINCE WASTED ?
Yet they still DEMAND more money – from wherever – to fund their ‘needs’.
The fact remains that the Commissar’s pet project – an AIR-CONDITIONED / ILLUMINATED bicycle path running between Budapest and Vienna – is going to cost absolutely ZILLIONS.
WHO NEEDS SUCH LUNACY APART FROM HIS FELLOW LEFT-WING IDIOTS ?
Having BILLIONS at their disposal will NEVER suffice for these power- / money-hungry political misfits.
GIVE COMRADE KARACSONY THE EARTH AND IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH !
He will just keep smiling the whimsical sort of smile exhibited by Josef Stalin and his successors, whilst at the same time keeping Budapest under the yoke of pseudo-Communism.
BEWARE THE SMILING RED WHO WANTS ALL OPPOSITION SILENCED – AND NEVER EXPLAINS HIS ACTIONS TO ‘THE MASSES’.
Comrade Karácsony should suffer the same fate as all those innocent Hungarian victims of Communist / Soviet oppression over several decades : a bullet in the head and his body dumped in an unmarked grave (outside of Budapest).
Well done, Mr. Karacsony.
