Mayor Márta V. Naszályi retreated after the idea of building the planned bus parking lot caused such outrage in the 1st district that the Párbeszéd politician was demanded to resign.
The Budapest Municipality suspends the preparatory works related to the bus parking lot on Mészáros Street for an indefinite period, announced the mayor of the 1st district on his Facebook page.
According to Márta V. Naszályi, the entire district would benefit from the bus parking lot, and "not only the hundreds of millions of annual income that the parking lot would generate based on our preliminary calculations - which can be spent on the district."
He added: they were guided by the goal of freeing Buda Castle, Gellért Hill and the entire district from the tourist chaos that preceded the coronavirus epidemic. In the past month, a number of public and professional consultations regarding the project were held in the district; many real concerns and suggestions were listened to and incorporated into the planning process, the politician indicated.
At the same time, we also faced several attacks that used these concerns for political purposes and fear-mongering, he added. The mayor announced that, despite long negotiations with MÁV and the board's decision, MÁV did not sign the contract he signed until Wednesday, despite its promises - for unknown reasons.
Since an investment of such importance cannot be prepared in such a degree of uncertainty", on Wednesday, Márta V. Naszályi requested the return of the lease contract for the area of the planned bus parking lot from MÁV.
At the same time, the preparation work of the bus parking lot was suspended indefinitely, he added.
Márta V. Naszályi has only been mayor for a year and a half, but she already has enough scandals behind her for several terms. As a "Green" politician, his first action was related to cutting down trees, and then, in addition to the trees, he would also have banished Fidesz from the Castle. However, the impossibility of the residents' lives did not end in the reorganization of the rental housing system: he already campaigned against the reconstruction of the Castle District, and with his latest run of the mill, the last straw was filled with the people living in the 1st district. Thousands of people are already protesting against the gigantic tourist bus station planned for the middle of the residential areas, with 62 seats and hundreds of buses per day, which the Mayor of the 1st district, Márta V. Naszályi, wants to implement at the Southern Railway Station. This would no longer be tolerated by the local civilians, and it seems that in just a year and a half, popular anger will sweep away the dialogic mayor.
