According to István Tarlós, the communication of the left wing led by Ferenc Gyurcsány also undermines values that have been healthy for centuries, such as the role of families in society. The former mayor also told the Mediaworks News Center that the left's misleading slogans about the government's "anti-Budapest" policy are an integral part of the left-liberals' election campaign.
- The methods and style of the left wing in the capital can be clearly seen in two areas. One is working with a dragged-out and uninitiated organization, the other is hostile communication, said István Tarlós. that the promises announced with great vehemence, but fulfilled to an almost zero extent, could also be mentioned in relation to work He continued, practically two years have passed since the new cycle, and there is no fulfillment.
– We did not leave behind a prepared work, but in the case of these (for example, Lánchíd, Blaha Lujza tér) we do not know for what real purpose we were witness to delays that are difficult to explain. The flood protection works of the Aranyhegyi stream have also stopped completely, and the number of tree plantings they have repeated many times is negligible. On the other hand, based on an ideology that can be said to be extreme, the unrestrained narrowing of important road capacity has been perpetuated. This forced decision has consequences not only from a transport point of view, but also from an environmental protection point of view, contrary to the announced intention - explained István Tarlós, who currently holds the position of prime minister's representative responsible for the development of the national transport and public service infrastructure...
…– Of course, I'm not saying that in our time everything went like a whirlwind. However, this pace, which is being experienced now, can raise the suspicion that it might not be a random process. The question is what the actual motivation is. I think less and less that the reason is simple dilettantism - Tarlós thought... It is not at all unrealistic to think that the extreme assertion and demonstration of the government's so-called "anti-Budapest" policy can be a conscious concept on the left...
...He reminded: when the management of the capital was handed over, HUF 200 billion in resources were left in the coffers, and the only serious reduction in resources on the part of the government was the partial reduction of the local business tax. - Which, on the other hand, had a more moderate effect than what appeared in public opinion, and it affected the payments of the largest taxpayers the least. Free parking also affected the capital city government to a limited extent, as most of the parking fees go to the budgets of the districts. The fact that the government is only now delaying the transfer of six billion forints intended to support the renovation of the Chain Bridge is also a common slip. We would have received that at a later stage - declared István Tarlós....
...According to Tarlós, the mentioned communication of the left may include the intention of tactics aimed at discrediting the government (and also the former city administration). - Politicians and sympathetic journalists of the left obviously don't like to hear this, they argue wildly against it, but even so the statement may contain serious elements of truth. Let's safely expect that a series of investments can be realized even now with the support of the government. Examples include the quayside reconstruction or the further renewal of the BKV vehicle fleet, but also the southern Danube bridge or the so-called subway number 5, said the prime minister's agent. According to his summary assessment, the offensive, "bottomless" communication of the left is also contributed to by the whole series of disproportionate, obnoxious "rebuttals" in Budapest. - And yet, in our time, the left-liberal side trembled like a frog in Miskolc jelly from any degree of "pointing back".
…– This communication goes surprisingly far in any other sense, independent of the political sympathy or antipathy of the average person. It also attacks values that have been healthy for many centuries (for example, the role of families in society), but it also interprets the natural interests of the nation in an individual way (for example, the issue of dealing with illegal immigration).
And the tone of some left-wing leaders sometimes reminds me of the fifties. …
