István Tarlós rejects the claim of the MSZP–LMP–Párbeszéd that the assets of the capital have been sold off. According to the former mayor, they just bought back the water works that had been destroyed by the socialists and the free democrats, and the same was initiated in the case of the sewerage works.
By amending the metro contracts concluded before 2010, tens of billions were recovered for Budapest. Responding to the announcement of the MSZP-LMP-Párbeszéd, István Tarlós, the former mayor of Budapest, described the sale of the capital's assets as a foolish statement and an offended reaction. "Whoever said this is partly confused, and partly suffering from sensual disappointments," Tarlós said, adding that "selling out" primarily means selling everything so that nothing remains.
"This statement is just a delusion on the part of the opposition text editor," he said.
He reminded him that "at the cost of considerable difficulties" the Capital Waterworks, which had been stolen from foreigners during the 20-year MSZP-SZDSZ courses, were bought back for the city, and the same was initiated in the case of the sewerage works. At the water works, he pointed out, in addition to the share package sold at the time, the management rights were also given, despite the objections of the State Audit Office, the asset portfolio and dividend payment priority were ensured.
Tarlós also touched on the fact that tens of billions of forints were recovered for Budapest by "bitterly amending the monstrous Metro 4 contracts and orders" also concluded by the MSZP-SZDSZ and severely criticized by the European Anti-Fraud Office, OLAF.
According to the former mayor, "it has a special discreet charm" that the contracts of metro 4 - which were concluded long before 2010 - were renamed with noble simplicity after the 2019 election as the "suspected corruption case of the Tarlós era". He also announced that the hospital centralizations affecting the capital were done by virtue of the law, and on this basis, he pointed out, all the MSZP-led and liberal municipalities in the country "sold out". - The Városliget - which at that time was also part of Zugló's property - was also managed by the state based on law (and remained the property of the city) - he added.
He also reminded that in 2010, the left left behind a debt stock of 250 billion in Budapest, BKV with an aging vehicle fleet, metro 3, which has been "untouched for 25-30 years and is a pile of rubble" and the half-finished metro 4, which at the time consumed all resources , he pointed out, "we had to struggle for another four years" with the latter investment.
