You don't have to be afraid to sell the City Hall, if you all agree, I'm not against it. That's about all we can know after the index media bomb dropped in the middle of the week. According to the news portal, the contracts in his possession prove that they intend to sell the City Hall building for forty billion, but according to Karácsony, there is no such case.
We don't know if the truth will ever come out, hopefully it will, but some reactions already give us reason to think about it. Or rather recall. Gábor Horn, former head teacher of the SZDSZ, wrote the following about the incident on his Facebook page:

And that's terrifying. And I use the epithet not because Horn's father-in-law had already used it, albeit in a completely different context, but because
the post echoes the kind of attitude that upholds common values, destroys them, and then throws them away, which is really terrifying.
How Dare You? - so that even those who have not managed to learn Hungarian .
And then let's look at the difference between destruction and construction with the help of two glaring examples!
Contemporary press reports described the socialist project, which became famous as the government quarter:
"Although the planning of the government quarter continues, the investment will be stopped - announced the government spokesperson. The question marks around the complex, which promises to be the emblematic investment of the second Gyurcsány government, have been constantly increasing. According to the government, 8.5 billion were spent on land, and more than 600 million on experts and tenders. The government spokesperson, when investigating the person responsible, said that they do not consider what happened to be a failure." ( Origo, January 8, 2008 )
"At least 9 billion forints have already been spent on the Gyurcsány government's big dream, the government quarter, and they had to account for it by July 1, but even today the public does not know where nearly 5 billion forints went... Two years ago, in the summer of 2006, not long after after the Öszöd speech, the prime minister first floated the idea of the government quarter. The reason is the more frugal state. All this would have cost HUF 142.5 billion over 25 years. It turned out that there won't be a quarter, but it has already cost more than HUF 9 billion. Billions thrown away.” ( Blikk, January 21, 2009 )
"Due to suspicions of dishonesty, the Central Investigative Prosecutor's Office has been investigating the settlement of the government quarter for months... The Gyurcsány cabinet decided on the construction of the government quarter in December 2006. Although there was a lot of wrangling in the application for the selection of the location, the government finally decided on the area behind the Nyugati railway station without anyone looking into the real estate register of the MÁV... The government promised to settle the matter. He entrusted the task to the Ministry of Finance, but the ministry referred the work to the competence of MNV Zrt., which in the meantime succeeded KVI. Only the draft was completed by the June deadline. But even from this it was revealed that the construction of the state air defense cost HUF 9.152 billion... MNV Zrt. already indicated in the draft report that it finds the amount of several contracts and the level of performance to be debatable. However, the PM did not find anything objectionable and even considered the project a good investment. On the other hand, the ÁSZ report, which came to light just a few months later, found a difference of HUF 63.8 million between the data sets of the PM and the ÁSZ in its report on the fulfillment of the budget of the previous year - 2007." ( NOL, July 9, 2009 )
"A large area next to the Nyugat railway station has been empty for six years. The government quarter was supposed to be built here, but then nothing came of it. During this time, all movable assets have been stolen from it, its buildings are falling into disrepair, and there is no final solution on the horizon." ( Index, January 23, 2014 )

I note in parentheses that when it comes to personal wealth, not community wealth, those who are now active in the guise of liberals suddenly become excellent economists and are able to increase their private wealth flawlessly. In the meantime, of course, they even find time to accuse the civil government, which is known to steal, of non-stop theft. For example like this:
National Haussmann Program years ago , our main objective was, and it hasn't changed since then, to return the Buda Castle to the people after decades of destruction and oblivion, so that it can belong to all of us again, as it is our common heritage, everything Hungarian. We are working to make the previously abandoned, dilapidated and dilapidated Budavári Palace District shine again in its turn-of-the-century light, to become a lovable and attractive place for everyone, to reorganize, beautify and open up to visitors the areas that have been neglected, neglected and closed off for many decades."
the National Hauszmann Program (2019-2024) so far are tangible and visible to everyone, available:
- Reconstruction of the southern connecting wing of the Budavar palace and the Szent István hall
- Reconstruction of the Red Cross Headquarters
- Reconstruction of the Honvéd High Command
- Fixing the Fehérvár rondella and the Western frames
- Creation of castle gardens, green areas and public spaces
- Ensuring that the Palace can be visited
- Reconstruction of the Csikós yard, the Stables and the main guard
- Renovation of Carmelita
- Restoration of the main building of the Hungarian National Archives
- Value saving on development sites
the roof structure of the Lovarda in Budavar just an international award, because the roof, recreated in its original form, covered with red and green English slate, is also unique internationally, and therefore received the best recognition in the category of metal roofs at the IFD World Championship in Marburg.
Despite all this, there are still people today who can't - or rather don't want to? - differentiate between destruction and construction; well, they're the ones you don't have to deal with. The majority, on the other hand, must see the difference both in terms of intentions, approach, and – and perhaps this is the most important – the results. Because the civilian government has shown indisputable results in construction, and this is true even if we don't talk about it enough.
Let's talk!
