Karácsony's car chase continues: he would ban diesel cars from the city Mayor Gergely Karácsony accepted Greenpeace's petition, in which they ask the city administration to ban diesel cars from the city.
Hardly a lot, Greenpeace collected 45,000 signatures in more than two years, which it handed over to Mayor Gergely Karácsony, demanding that diesel cars be banned from Budapest, or at least publish a schedule for its implementation.

Karácsony did not give a clear answer to the question of the Soros blog 444, which reports on the event, what target date can be expected, but noted that the creation of low-emission zones is also necessary, and they also need a target date, so the question.
Everyone agrees that it is important to deal with improving the air quality of the capital, but the question is how the City Hall led by Gergely Karácsony can accomplish this. With his actions so far, the mayor has continuously punished motorists and caused even more environmental pollution with the continuous traffic jams.
Even the painting of unused bicycle lanes caused a huge outrage after they were designed in such a way that they took away an entire traffic lane from motorists.
The ill-considered closures at the beginning of the summer and the construction of new bus and bicycle lanes also put motorists in a disastrous situation, endless traffic jams formed. And the mayor just told motorists to get out and walk.
In addition, after the closure of the quay and the Chain Bridge, the badly organized renovation of Blaha Lujza tér also began, which caused further closures and traffic jams. Motorists are thus forced to trudge through the capital's roads, in the smog caused by traffic jams, even in the worst heat waves.
