- SUBWAYagreed to build the quay section of the Buda Electric University of Technology in Buda with government funds, to expand the interconnected network;
- The government received from the capital the plans and concept for the construction of the Transport Museum;

- No decision has been made on the $ 55 billion package;
- There was no talk of taking over the renovation of the Chain Bridge, it was not initiated by the capital;
- They disagreed with the maintenance and long-term enforcement of the Grand Boulevard traffic order.
The capital and the government disagreed at a meeting of the Metropolitan Public Development Council on Thursday on the Liget project. As Balázs Fürjes said, although the government argued that the investment in gigabytes should be further developed, as it would provide Budapest with new green spaces, a new “part of the city”, the capital’s delegation did not accept the government’s proposal.
It was announced that the capital would receive from the government the 6 billion florins promised in the Tarlós era for the renovation of the Széchenyi chain bridge, but the government subjects it to strict conditions, it will transfer the money if only this part is missing for its completion . Also, if the capital agrees not to restrict traffic for more than 18 months due to reconstruction.
The dock can go
“We agreed on the renovation of the Pest pier, we confirmed the principles that István Tarlós presented to the city council, there will be a car in a lane twice, but we want to give more space to pedestrian and bicycle traffic so that cyclists can own the space, space more pleasant urban. from the docks, said Balázs Fürjes.
In the case of rust zones, the government accepted the capital’s request that the city administration also have a say in how justified an investment in these parts of the city is and how regressive it is from the point of view of urban architecture.
The capital has requested an alleged right to comment on the designation of oxidation zones
– He said.
If the district makes an investment in such an area, but the government does not have enough vision for the project, the capital can comment on its benefits, advantages and disadvantages.
Vice versa
Gergely Karácsony did not even take office, there were many altercations between the capital and the government about the amount of debt that former mayor István Tarlós handed over the key at the end of the cycle, and how much it reduces the mayor’s space for priority projects. , spend on renovations.
Development debt was yes, but there was no operating debt
– This was stated by István Tarlós himself in Hit Rádió recently about how much debt Hungary had when it was fired. He added that, on the other hand, they had seized the capital of the Demszkys anno with 73 billion operating debt, since then they completed the M3 metro, the renovation of the Margaret Bridge, built a 400-kilometer canal, completed the revolving tram and they prepared for the renovation of the Chain Bridge.
The rhetoric of the government is mainly that Gergely Karácsony reaps the laurels of the investments initiated in the Tarlós era (he sits in it), and the amount of investments that are made with the support of the government, but mainly serve the interests of the capital , like triple. Metro renovation. Balázs Fürjes went even further in his press conference at the Finance Ministry (PM) on Thursday, which essentially scheduled the Budapest Public Development Council meeting, according to him, the city administration is trying to create the impression of what
there is the powerful and violent government, and against it the defenseless little self-government.
They are trying to cooperate, and it is a shame to discuss the past, what kind of debt is left for Christmas, as according to the prime minister’s report, since 2010, Orbán’s cabinet has already taken on 375.6 billion HUF of Budapest debt, almost 2.1 million in the last decade. billion in public development, 4.2 billion in development from the state budget and EU funds are in progress, corporate tax revenues have almost doubled, and by 2021 the capital is in a basically privileged position, since only Budapest receives operational support for public transport. Overall, on a stable footing, it has much more leeway than in 2010. According to the government, this is only confirmed by the fact that this year Moody’s upgraded Budapest’s debt rating from stable to positive.
According to the government, Budapest has around 200 billion HUF in reserves, of which 40 billion are in cash and 160 billion are government securities. “This is a war of numbers with children, now I can’t say it any other way,” Mayor Gergely Karácsony told InfoRádió.
According to
Approximately 35-40 billion florins is the deductible for developments that the Metropolitan Municipality has received specifically for these purposes.
These are included as a reserve or coverage for developments. A significant part of this is a development loan from the European Development Bank, which can also be used for development purposes only, and as it were, in every household at the beginning of the month, when the payment comes, there is an amount relatively large money, at the end of the month, when it runs out. You have to pay overhead, you look small. So I can say that if we look at how much money is in the capital account and how much is in the general government or central budget account, it’s about 1: 100. “
What are they arguing about?
As the Index wrote, one of the contentious topics was the City Park issue (the capital practically introduced a construction ban on the City Park), but there was also a loud bell about the Chain Bridge renovation and different opinions on bicycle and car transport in Budapest. government.
