Márki-Zay could not replace his deputy mayor, so he withdrew all his duties

He wanted to replace his own deputy mayor, Péter Márki-Zay, but due to the ineffectiveness of the secret ballot, he could only withdraw his powers. The representatives of the Fidesz-KDNP declared that they did not want to participate in the "showdown" of the city's leaders, so they withdrew from the discussion of the agenda and did not participate in the secret ballot. Meanwhile, the people of Vásárhely do not understand why Márki-Zay dismissed the deputy mayor, because in their opinion Andrea Kis worked throughout the election campaign and manages the affairs of the residents well.

"It was not a political decision, but an employer decision," the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely later wrote on his Facebook page. For this reason, I exercised my authority given by law and completely withdrew the deputy mayor's duties from Kis Andrea.

He added: " We have a democracy, thanks to this, one vote was missing at today's general assembly to revoke the mandate. Regardless of the decision, Ferenc Gyöngyösi provides assistance in the management of the city even without a special allowance. , I will strive to keep my election promises to the people of Vásárhely

Earlier, Mandiner wrote that Péter Márki-Zay proposed to replace the full-time MSZP deputy mayor of Hódmezővásárhely, Andrea Kis, on Thursday. The mayor proposed a closed hearing in the motion distributed on the spot, but Andrea Kis asked that the election and replacement be decided in an open meeting.

The socialist politician only added to the proposal that Péter Márki-Zay imagines the functioning of the municipality differently, and therefore does not wish to work with him in the future.

they did not want to participate in the "showdown" between the city's leaders The motion requiring a qualified majority was supported by only seven representatives instead of eight, and three voted against.

The general assembly - on the basis of the legality appeal of the Csongrád-Csanád County Government Office - revoked last year's decision to raise the price of municipal rental apartments. Residents are credited with the additional rent paid.

Tamás Cseri stated that the government's intention was clearly to protect people from an increase in their expenses during the pandemic. The municipality tried to circumvent this, but the government office established the illegality of this, he added.
