Fidesz joins protest against left-wing council’s plans in Castle District
Change language:
Fidesz representatives in the left-wing-controlled Castle District in the heart of the capital are backing a petition by residents protesting against plans to set up stalls that would “cheapen” the public space behind Matthias Church, a World Heritage site.
Stall owners have been invited to ply their trade in the area of historical importance which is popular with tourists.
Local Fidesz representative Mrs. Péter Sándor told a press conference held at the site that this would result in “smelly outdoor buffets full of rubbish”.
Mrs. István Tóth, the head of the local residents association said that Márta Naszályi, the mayor of the 1st District (Momentum-DK-Socialist-Parbeszed-LMP party alliance) had failed to consult local residents about the plan.
“The district council would collect less than 33 million forints (EUR 94,300) in revenues over nine months, while it has a higher amount earmarked in this year’s budget for other purposes that include the modernisation of the mayor’s working environment,” she said.
I agree with Mrs. Istvan Toth. The mayor’s office does everything and anything it wants to and the local residents not only are not consulted but are left out. It’s the same old system weather it’s one party or the other. Once there in they do what they want. ” It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks”. The Communist mindset doesn’t change “WHAT IS YOURS IS MINE, BUT WHAT IS MINE IS NOT YOURS!”
In my case, I am not looking forward to the restaurant opening below me with the cooking smells, WC smells and cigarette smells that keep me from opening my windows, not to mention the extra load noise from the tourist. I was never consulted either. And I would question if health issues. The District spent 3mmHUF to plant flowers. What will it cost to take care of them? We never got a plan for that. They say the Tourists rule, suck it up!
