The government is falsely taking the Katalin Kovács Academy from Shipyard Island to Lake Venice without reversing its decision to build a defensive system that involves cutting down a thousand trees.

Budapest and the III. The District Municipality did not support the use and renovation of the Isla Astillero in Óbuda for sports and leisure purposes, as well as the implementation of the Katalin Kovács National Kayak-Canoe Sports Academy, therefore, the investment will be taken to Lake Sukoró : this is the essence of government It appeared on the 11th.

Sándor Bardóczi, However, according to Budapest’s main landscape architect, this was a slip, as the capital supported the implementation of the kayak-canoe center, only it did not contribute to the construction of the fortification. This would mean cutting down a thousand trees and raising the water level of the Danube by 8 centimeters during the flooding around the Csillaghegy Bay.

The capital does not want one thing: to destroy the wildlife of a natural space in an investment that will not pay off in 110 years, and to protect from floods a public park that can coexist with it, and even that it likes to be flooded from time to time when. Because the vegetation of the floodplain also requires it

Bardóczi told 24.hu. The main landscaper also said that with the kayak-canoe center, the capital did not have any problems, and even continues to give it a place in its current building regulations.

We also support it because the designated area would have been perfect for the investment, the kayak-canoe center could have been built there without a dam. This is because such a facility can coexist with a possible flood.

Sándor Bardóczi added that there was not even a consultation between the capital and the government about the kayak-canoe center, and in his opinion, the government decided not to because of professional considerations.

The construction of the dam was not withdrawn

Tímea Szabó, the Co-Chair of the Dialogue, Member of Parliament for the Óbuda district, welcomed the publication of the government’s decision, which he described as a further step towards a complete victory on the Shipyard Island issue. On the other hand, the joy in the town hall is not so great, because at the moment it can only be read that the Katalin Kovács Academy will be located in a new location.

However, there is no doubt that the government also rejected the construction of the fortification and, therefore, the felling of a thousand trees.

444.hu knows that the planning phase of the project has continued and the state water company to which it has been entrusted is still working on the plans.

Until the publication of our article, the Prime Minister did not respond to our question as to whether the decision to build the dam would be reversed and, if so, when. On the other hand, Népszava wrote that “Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, already said in the government information of July 2020 that the government does not support any investment in the island of Óbuda (Shipyard)”. However, the document did not answer why the government had not reversed its three-year decision to build a flood defense system on the island if a new location for the sports academy had been found in the meantime.

At the extraordinary meeting at the end of August, the Metropolitan Municipality voted to initiate the suspension of investment in the government and the repeal of the government’s decision. They also voted that if the government does not comply with their requests, a construction ban on the island of Óbuda could be imposed in the October General Assembly.

In late June, it was revealed that the government was planning the construction of a grandiose dam on Shipyard Island. Gergely Christmas The mayor protested against the investment and civilians sent a life preserver to the government, but the prime minister argued that after the three acres of forest were cut down, the island would be more orderly. Then Gergely Gulyás The Prime Minister has announced that the government will not support any investment on Shipyard Island and is seeking a new location for the Katalin Kovács National Kayak-Canoe Sports Academy.
