Instead of the expected 200,000, only 50,000 signatures have been collected nationwide for the left-wing referendum, the goal of which Márki-Zay could only hit several times at the start.
Despite the fact that Gergely Karácsony - neglecting his duties as mayor - is campaigning with full steam in favor of the referendum initiative of the left, the results of the signature collection so far fall far short of expectations. As Hirado.hu drew attention to, Karácsony stated earlier: they will collect the necessary two hundred thousand signatures this year, however Ágnes Kunhalmi, co-president of the MSZP, reported on ATV's Tuesday evening broadcast that they had only managed to collect fifty to fifty-five thousand signatures so far.
The mayor announced on December 8: "this is an excellent opportunity for the opposition to be on the streets again and show their strength together, even during the primary election." The demonstration of strength is quite weak for the time being, which is no wonder, since at the event announcing the start of the signature collection, Péter Márki-Zay even had a problem with what exactly the goal of their initiative was.
Memorably, Márki-Zay said: "Thirty days are currently available to job seekers, now we want to increase this to ninety days to support those who lost their jobs during the covid." At first, his communications advisor Simon András tried to correct the left-wing prime ministerial candidate, who said: "Just a clarification that, of course, the duration of the job search contribution (!) is now ninety days, and the goal of the united opposition is to raise it to one hundred and eighty days. " Then Ágnes Kunhalmi also whispered, and finally Márki-Zay managed to find the solution: "Two hundred and seventy... That's right... Sorry, nine months... So from three months to nine months... Yes..."
While Gergely Karácsony deals with the referendum initiative launched in the case of the jobseeker's allowance and Fudan University, Origo's public interest data request revealed that the City Hall spent almost four hundred million forints on consultants this year. you must prepare a report. In one year, the number of consultants at the Capital City Government increased by more than thirty percent, while hundreds of people were put on the streets at the capital's utility companies, whose head, Imre Mártha, the top leader of the utility companies, boasts of a luxurious lifestyle.
As reported by 2022Plusz yesterday: former mayor István Tarlós told the Mediaworks News Center about City Hall Gate that what the Christmas team is doing is a tortured attempt to re-thematize the whole story after a series of lies and self-contradictions, the they are trying to place the events in a completely different context from the original, said Tarlós. He called it absurd that the Karácsony family limited the work of the commission investigating suspected corruption transactions.
