Instead of maintaining the public cleanliness and public safety of public areas, the Metropolitan Municipality Police Directorate can focus on punishing motorists in the capital. - writes mandiner.hu.
The changes within FÖRI were carried out by the head of the organization, Ferenc Gyurcsány's former bodyguard, Tamás Handl, and the final decision was made by Mayor Gergely Karácsony. According to FÖRI, with the merger, they only want to make the work of public space inspectors more efficient and effective.
Hardly an exaggeration: Budapest's state of public cleanliness and public safety has sunk to a level not seen for a long time in recent months.

The homeless once again appeared in the capital's public squares and underpasses, and the major intersections were overrun by aggressive gangs and drug users harassing the residents of Budapest.
Although the districts are trying to improve the situation by involving the police, the problem can only be effectively dealt with at the capital level.
Since the Metropolitan Municipality Police Directorate is an independent budgetary organization of the Metropolitan Municipality, its organizational and operating regulations are always decided by the current mayor alone. Although in most cases the heads of the institutions make proposals to the city manager - in the case of FÖRI this can be done by Tamás Handl, Ferenc Gyurcsány's former bodyguard - Gergely Karácsony is currently making the verdict.

However, Tamás Handl hardly needs to fear the expected negative repercussions of his proposal, since the head of the Office of the Deputy Mayor of Human Territories Gy. Erzsébet Németh is his wife: Dorottya Keszthelyi, and this department prepares the personnel questions of the capital's organizations. In addition to managing the office, Keszthelyi also works for the Angyalföld municipality as a DK representative, and also ran in the opposition primary election.
With the merger, motorists may be in the crosshairs again, although according to Tamás Handl: "I don't want to say that everyone should be fined, but the fact that we put up three wheel clamps in Budapest in one twenty-four hours and put two reports or public fines next to it, an apology, a public fine, that exhausts my shift of not working a lot," he said.
But it's already known: the era of wheelbarrows in Budapest, already well known to the Demszkys, is coming.
