Fidesz mayoral candidate Szentkirályi: I prepare for a job that calls for rolling up my sleeves
Alexandra Szentkirályi, the ruling Fidesz party’s candidate for mayor of Budapest, has said she believes in Budapest and is ready to fight for the city. “I am preparing for a job that calls for rolling up my sleeves,” she said in an interview published by weekly Mandiner on Thursday.
“I am a politician focused on discipline,” Szentkirályi said, adding that “we have a clear vision of what kind of a city we would like to see as the nation’s capital.”
“Budapest is the centre of all Hungarians in terms of culture and is of special significance in terms of its economic strength.”
She said that while the Fidesz-led government had carried out several development projects in the capital, including City Park, the State Opera House, the National Dance Theatre and the completion of the fourth metro line, “all the left has done was present visions about power, being unable to look beyond their own interests”.
Szentkirályi slams incumbent mayor
Szentkirályi criticised Gergely Karácsony, the incumbent mayor, describing him as a “controversial politician”, who she said had found “an enemy in the government that offered its cooperation which the mayor rarely accepted”.
“The problem is with his approach, not the opportunities,” Szentkirályi said, arguing that Karacsony had failed to deliver on 75 percent of the long-term programme goals he announced after being elected in 2019.
The city’s current leadership “benefits only the camp of [opposition DK leader] Ferenc Gyurcsány,” the Fidesz candidate said, adding, however, that “we would fill municipal posts with experienced and hard-working professionals instead of failed politicians”.
She said that if elected mayor, she would promote further developing the city’s public transport and parking systems with a view to reducing car traffic as well as handle the issue of homelessness “in a humane but pro-order manner”.
Szentkirályi pledged to double resources aimed at keeping the city’s public places clean and set up a system of city caretakers.
In a broader context, she said that “similarly to Europe, Budapest is a battleground of globalists and sovereigntists”.
“The Hungarian dollar left is practically getting paid and commanded by the globalist centre in Brussels,” Szentkirályi said, insisting that “this is why it is clear to me that the EP and municipal elections are closely related”.

Budapest has been suffocating under the globalist-socialist puppet Karacsony a.k.a. Gyurcsany. So much tax forints wasted on idiotic vanity projects as well as useless but expensive initiatives mandated by the E.U., U.N., W.E.F., etc. such as electric scooters, bicycle tracks, parking prohibitions, and many others. This Soros’ stooge is fully signed up to Agenda 2030 and 15-Minute Cities as well as the LGBTQWERTY123!@#BS nonsense. Budapest deserves better. Szentkiralyi has my vote!
War! Battle! Fight! The Enemy! Gotta love the violent rhetoric of our “Pro Peace!” Politicians.
I also like the “reducing car traffic” blurb – @michaelsteiner, I believe this is code for electric scooters, bicycle tracks and parking prohibitions are there to stay, and “many others” if I have to guess.
And speaking of the M4 metro: Construction cost 1.5 billion Euros (1.5% of Hungary’s annual GDP). The EU was nice enough to contribute 600 million (yes, we are a TAKER). Apparently, the annual operating cost of 6 billion HUF is fourfold the operating costs of the M2 and M3 combined. Some say it is the most expensive metro line ever built – which is obviously great for our Politicians´ friends and toadies – https://hvg.hu/itthon/20091203_dbr_negyes_metro
I wonder who undertook the City Park, State Opera House, and National Dance Theatre work? Deserving, loyal NER Knights is my wager.
“Anonymous” – it is I ! Lots of things – however, I will take responsibility for my responses.
