New residents appeared in the Duna Street Retirement Home in Csepel: homeless people from other districts of Budapest. Gergely Karácsony did not discuss the move in with the local residents or the district management.
They acted in the same way twice in András Pikó's district: the capital and the district decided on cases of such importance without the residents. Origo based on the Ripost article .
Gergely Karácsony and the left-wing district leaders always make decisions on homeless matters within their own jurisdiction, without consulting the residents there, Ripost reports. In Csepel, even the Fidesz leaders of the district were not asked: with the decided fact, the XXI. the district mayor also only faced the general meeting.
the Ripost report, the people of Csepel were very upset about the strange move-ins. Karácsony had previously planned a similar move, but then it failed due to the scandal spreading to the district and the resistance of the residents. This time, the mayor issued the permits completely secretly.
According to those who have lived there for years, the new residents continue the same way of life as before: they leave in the morning, come home in the evening, and walk the streets during the day. They go in and out of the institution, while the fourth wave of Covid poses a serious threat to the elderly.
The Duna Street Retirement Home is owned by the Metropolitan Municipality. Ordinary "civilians" can only move in under serious conditions: there is a moving-in fee, which according to the residents there can be as much as HUF 3-4 million. However, those resettled by the capital can also use the option of paying in installments, which pensioners still do not have.
Gergely Karácsony once again kicked the pensioners," said mayor Lénárd Borbély, who says there are vacancies in the local homeless shelters. I received a very cynical answer from Karácsony's deputy, who said that these people are not homeless, as they now have shelter over their heads, added the politician.
