Mayors from the opposition not getting financial aid in Hungary?

Hungarian villages led by mayors from the opposition seem to be significantly lower on governmental aid than other villages nearby.

Mártély’s (a Hungarian village part of János Lázár’s constituency) city council was dissolved this Wednesday, Telex reports. János Lázár had met with four members of a village’s city council who voted for the dissolution of the council, which he stated was only to thank their support during the campaign.

István Somodi, the member who initiated the dissolution had published an open letter to Lázár 1,5 years prior to the dissolution, addressing the gossips about Lázár regularly stating that the village would not get financial aid as long as their mayor was from the opposition.

It was previously held against the mayor of Mártély that there had been no significant development in 2,5 years, while other villages in the countryside were continuously receiving great financial aid from a tender.

The mayors of Mártély and of another Hungarian village, Kübekháza, who both support Péter Márki-Zay, stated a few weeks ago in Facebook posts that after the 2022 governmental elections were over, they were “immediately attacked”.
