Karácsony: Budapest muni council to turn to top court over central squares taken away from city

Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest, said on Tuesday that the metropolitan council will turn to the Constitutional Court over the issue of public squares having been taken away from the city.

Karácsony reacted to parliament approving in its final vote on the 2023 central budget bill a provision which transfers the management, maintenance and development rights of downtown Podmaniczky Frigyes Square, Vörösmarty Square and Széchenyi István Square to the fifth district local council.

The finance ministry, the justice ministry and the interior ministry had “expressed grave constitutional concerns about the proposal to no avail”, the mayor said on Facebook. Karácsony said the city council will appeal to the top court against the decision which he said reflected “the full neglect of a self-government’s autonomy”. The municipality will also file a lawsuit for compensation it is entitled to receive for the ownership change under Hungary’s Fundamental Law, he said.

    It’s a shame how neglected many squares are. Soon to be 3 – 5 star hotels on frencec square. It’s been over 4 years that the planters have been cared for except to pick out the trash. There is a statue of Elizabeth in a little garden area that could be beautiful – trees in the planter area are 10 times the size the should be and area is dark with little sunlight. The new Spago has more going on in planters and planters than the entire- maybe you should ask for there help. I have been taking photos for the last 5 years of areas all over central Budapest that are neglected. I couldn’t find a plant service for outdoor areas for business – shocking.
    It look like there is little accesS to water in many areas.
