Mayor’s office says Fischer has no permit to hold impromptu concert
Budapest, May 6 (MTI) – Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra have no permit to hold an impromptu concert on Saturday in central Budapest’s Vorosmarty Square, the mayor’s office said.
The orchestra has not requested authorisation to reserve a public area, the mayoral communications office said in a statement, commenting on a report by commercial broadcaster RTL Klub.
As we wrote, the Municipal Assembly decided at the end of April to reduce the funding available to the world-celebrated orchestra by 200 million forints (EUR 940,000) to 60 million. The orchestra, it notes, is not a municipal institution.
Fischer then complained in a video message that the decision, coming in the middle of the season, had been made without preliminary coordination. He added that a flashmob would be held in protest.

Just shortly I would like that everybody knows that Fisher is lying!!! on this video
1. He got the message from the major won’t get so much support anymore in February, he went personally to the major!!!.
2. They got so much grant for years that Fisher put to the stock market ($millions) HMMMM, not spent on concerts. Real manipulator, politically, morally a big 0!!! It is true he is a good artist, but otherwise he is a criminal, shame as a human being.
