Budapest mayor presents alternative plan to use of recovery funds
Change language:
Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony on Sunday presented an alternative plan on the use of the European Union’s pandemic recovery fund, developed by the Association of Hungarian Municipalities (MÖSZ).
The Hungarian government submitted its plan on the use of the fund at the end of April, pledging to use the funding to cover a “new health-care system”, and to raise the quality of health-care nationwide.
Also as part of the government plan, projects funded with a view to reducing carbon emissions will include upgrading track-based transport, strengthening higher education and transitioning to a circular economy.
Karácsony, a co-leader of MÖSZ and the Párbeszéd party, said
Hungary was “botching a historic chance” by failing to put to good use the 6,000 billion forint (EUR 16.7bn) fund, allocated to the country within the framework of the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
Karácsony said the authors of the alternative plan disagreed with the government’s decision to only tap 2,500 billion forints available in non-refundable support while snubbing the 3,500 billion forint credit line “available with much better conditions than the Russian or Chinese loans taken out by the government”.
Mr. Gregory Christmas should stop pretending that he is anything more than a petty local bureaucrat.
Mr. Christmas is a Socialist probably linked to the George Soros organization, he loves to work with Krisztina Baranyi, the mayor of Ferencváros, and Suzy Dada her assistant who got the idea for a BLM statue in Hungary??? (where do they get these names anyway?) Soros hands are all over these people, and do not underestimate them…thes are danderous operatives that need to be rooted out!
