Official: no Christmas lighting in Budapest this year
This year, the Municipality of the capital will not build Christmas decorative lighting in the places it manages in view of the current economic situation, the Municipal Assembly decided on Wednesday.
The proposal of Deputy Mayor Kata Tüttő was supported by 18 votes in favour, 3 against and 8 abstentions, 24.hu reports. The measure will save HUF 28.3 million (EUR 69,300). As stated, it will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly. The former amount will be transferred to the general reserve.
According to the Mayor’s Office, the decision means that there will be no decorative lighting in the 5th district, for example, in Váci Street between Vörösmarty Square and Fővám Square and in the surrounding small streets, as well as in Deák Ferenc Street and in the Városháza Park. In the 6th District, there will be no Christmas decorations on part of Andrássy Street, Oktogon, Nagymező Street, Liszt Ferenc Square, and in the 1st District on Batthyány Square and Clark Ádám Square.

It would be CHRISTIAN, if the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary, under Cardinal Peter Erdo, and the hierarchy of ALL other Christian Faiths in Hungary, “pooled” their FLORINTS, which THEY have, and paid for Christmas Lighting.
The “message” of Christmas.
Celebration of the birth the arrival in the message of Christmas.
The “little ones” the FUTURE of Hungary, the beautiful smiles on their angelic faces that Christmas fairs and Christmas lights and decorations give them, and that’s the KEY word – to Peter Erdo & “others” – the giving which can be AFFORDED.
St Francis of Assisi – beautiful and richness in his message of Giving, Sharing & Deeds:
” The Deeds you do may be the only Sermon some persons will hear today.”
“If you light the Lamp for someone else. it will also brighten your path.”
What an OPPORTUNITY – is AGAIN presented to the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary – under the Cardinalship of Peter Erdo, and the Leaders of “other” Christian Faiths in Hungary – to bring the celebration and joy – to the PEOPLE of Hungary – by their DEED – in financing Christmas Lighting.
