“European events of the recent period, such as a soccer match in the Netherlands or the soccer match they did not dare hold in Belgium all demonstrate that from this aspect Budapest, and the whole of Hungary, is truly exceptional in Europe,” he said.

He added that the only area where had had experienced negative changes in the recent period was public hygiene. Additionally, he said that in other cities cycle lanes had been allocated without narrowing down the space for car traffic.
