[ad_1]

Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén has introduced a new bill, under which the government would take away the city’s local government and entrust the autonomous county governments with most Fidesz economic zones creating at least 5 billion HUF’s full cost investments, job creation and job maintenance. the ATV

In the explanatory memorandum of the bill presented at night, Semjén writes, among other things, that

The objective is to promote the economic development of the regions of great economic importance in Hungary, preserve existing jobs and create new jobs by creating separate areas that create favorable conditions for the continuation of economic activity.

The deputy prime minister also explains why it is necessary to take away the responsibilities and powers of local governments and hand them over to the ubiquitous county governments led by Fidesz.

According to Semjén, “the impact of the special economic zones created on the basis of the bill extends beyond the limits of the local government in which they are located” and “the bill’s solution allows for a more proportional distribution within the county, since investments in those areas are not limited to one municipality, they have a broader impact, even throughout the county’s territory. ”

The bill is in line with the case of the Samsung plant in Göd and the results of last year’s municipal elections. The government is clearly trying to give opposition-led cities as few opportunities as possible to take control of a serious economic investment, and the bill presented by Semjén may also help them with this.
