I think, therefore I am, said the French philosopher Descartes, but he no longer philosophized about whether I am even if I don't think, I just speak? Certainly, but then they would call me Gergely Karácsony and I would be the mayor.
The poor Facebook knight - because he is hyperactive in creating posts, in contrast to his hyperpassive language skills - took notes again, surprising his followers who do not want to think very much with his peculiar worldview and unique interpretation of reality. He's right, if they believe what he's about to give them, it's already worth it. And they believe it because they want to believe it.
I am strengthening the camp of non-believers, which I can safely do, because I got rid of the definition of "Budapest resident", which has now been degraded to a pejorative, for a good 5 years. However, I am forced to visit the beautifully regressive area of the capital 4-5 times a month, i.e. I see what I see, with the eyes of an outsider, and what I see and experience is not in a grateful relationship with the visions of Christmas. Of course, I understand how you would understand, a person is either good or nothing about his own activities.
Geri can be a big fan of Petőfi, because while our crowned poet saw the Alföld as beautiful, the mayor can adapt his poem to his own image and uselessness like this:
"You are beautiful, city, at least to me!" He likes it, but others less and less.
What does this so-called Facebook post say? He begins with the usual insult to the government, claiming that the prime minister only deals with Budapest when he cancels promised or already started investments with a single stroke of a pen. Although I would listen deeply about the investments in the capital in his place, because everything that was born during his reign was founded by the previous, Tarlós-style town hall. It is true that it is to Karácsony's credit that they managed to do well - I quote the words of their great mentor and manager -. Not a little, a lot.
Just some of the offer:
Blaha Lujza tér, where it will be greened, it is not clear when, however, it is clear that the "reconstruction" was completed with considerable delay and poor quality.
It's okay, the mistakes are offset by the sign that also says: excuse me (вибачте) in Ukrainian. There's a reason.
Chain Bridge. 5 billion more expensive and, as the technical language puts it, it was completed with reduced technical content, but it is a big advantage that the motorists of the capital have been gifted with new traffic jams with the vehicle traffic ban that continues to this day. Why isn't there an apology poster here?
Why continue? Or with what? With the chaotic and often accident-prone bicycle lanes? With the green pillars blocking everything and everyone? With the insect hotels? With the bee pastures? Or with the planned City Hall muty, the sales attempt prepared in secret?
By the way, bee pasture.
Geri continues by saying that the weediest area in the capital is managed by the state
and he may even be right, I certainly don't know and don't want to check. But what about the rest? Or is it a competition? The mayor's spies walk the seas under the cover of night and measure where the wild grass is higher. It shouldn't be high anywhere, neither in the state nor in the capital - well, I almost wrote that in "care" areas, but there is no mention of care.
The fact that he claims that city traffic jams have decreased during his reign is a category of thick skin.
If so, they might just be corks. Mr. Karácsony, see an eye specialist urgently, something is very wrong with your vision. But you can also be dyslexic, because if you could read the official air pollution data (not determined by the measurements of government propagandists like me), they would scream into your image that you are stuck in a traffic jam, thanks to the chaos created by your "experts". The traffic disorganization results speak for themselves, but I can also speak for myself, because I had time to think about all of this in the supposedly reduced congestion between Hősök tere and the BAH intersection, during the barely three-quarters of an hour of harrassment.
He claims that Budapest handled the covid epidemic better than the government.
How? Of course, we know that your uncle's wife, the generous shadow prime minister, was able to donate up to 30 face masks to a hospital, and your friends of principle opposed the measures, demanding closure when it was possible to open and opening when it had to be closed, but why is this would it have been successful? Or is it good epidemic management that they lied about the Chinese and Russian vaccines being ineffective, just because they are Chinese and Russian? Or do we call successful epidemic management the fact that they wanted to make the lives of hundreds of thousands of people difficult or even ruin them by rebelling against the government's measures? I don't forget what a riot was organized when the government temporarily waived the business tax for the sake of businesses, or when it abolished paid parking. You and your fellow left-liberals were dying to hear the idea. But anyway, right, you have the interests of the citizens of the capital in mind. It is true that they close their eyes in the meantime, so that they do not accidentally see that wretched citizen and his sufferings.
And I have no words for the outrageous accusation he dares to make towards the end of his scribble. I have to quote this.
He accuses the government of "applying for the awards for the best European Union investments with capital investments".
I'm losing my mind! Those investments, kindergartener Geri crawling into palms, those are all government investments!!! You and your army of advisers have as much to do with that as a Serbian fan has to do with the victory of the Hungarian national team! You attacked them wherever you could. It was in the athletics stadium that you grinned and took a photo with Sebastian Coe, the president of the International Athletics Federation, and said that without you and Krisztina Baranyi, the Fradigyzöllő, the World Championships in Budapest would not have been possible!
Karigeri reached the peak of stupidity with his last comment.
He said that none of his friends or relatives had become billionaires in recent years.
But what about your short-haired friend, Imre Mártha, the prince of luxury? Doesn't he have billions? Or what about your leader, Gy. Ferenc? Of course, he is not a billionaire since yesterday, he got himself together much earlier, but he is still a billionaire and not thanks to Fidesz. What about your 40+ advisors baby Ali? Maybe they are starving? Did Kata Tüttő have to ride in the sea because she didn't have enough food for the day, so she was forced to gallop after the fish and if she caught one, did she eat it on the spot? In vain, the wretched leadership in the capital is forced to do such strange things, because the government has bled Budapest, and they can only pay the above-mentioned people their monthly appanage of more than a million through loans.
I don't expect Karácsony to change and, in defiance of the orders of Őszödi Böszme, not to lie. He can't do anything else, in his blood, more precisely, since the government has already taken it out of him, there is a lie in his chances of re-election. So we can be sure that while trying to find a mote in the government's eye, he can only do so by peeking out from behind his own beam.
