There was a lot on the menu, but only a few people lived well. The last four years of Mayor Pál Veres and his team in Miskolc can be described briefly and with bittersweet humor - this is what the Fidesz city faction leader said at a press conference on Friday morning.
Grandiose dreams from Miskolc
Ákos Nagy explained that the set of promises that painted the colorful dream world of the Nagy-Miskolc concept to the people of Miskolc is now only a gray, empty slogan. According to his words, the people of Miskolc can rightfully feel cheated.
This blank piece of paper is enough for the performance of the past four years, Pál Veres has fulfilled all his promises
- pointed out the politician from the ruling party.
Ákos Nagy asked the question, what was actually given to the people of Miskolc?
The people who live here have had public transport disrupted, flights cut in half, huge tumult, a record number of schedule changes and rewards for blitzers. In addition, during the coronavirus epidemic, the people of Miskolc had the highest number of deaths in proportion to the population due to poor epidemic management, faulty measures
- said the Fidesz city faction leader.
Fidesz holds up a mirror
According to his words, in the meantime, the police force was downgraded, the sheriff system was abolished, the slum eradication program stopped, and public safety deteriorated significantly. Ákos Nagy also reminded that the rents in Miskolc were skyrocketed, valuable inner-city real estate was stolen, and when appropriate, they were given to friends, while a young person starting a career has no chance of getting an apartment.
They did not pay the Salkaházi allowance promised to the elderly and the support for school-aged children, while they gave their friends double councilor fees, created positions and sports jobs. Tourism was destroyed, and in the afforestation program, instead of ten thousand new trees, the people of Miskolc got a few dry, uncared-for shrubs. This is your Nagy-Miskolca, Mr. Mayor!
Ákos Nagy pointed out.
He added that precisely for this reason, the people of Miskolc will be reminded every week of the promises made by Pál Veres and the left-liberal team behind him with loud words in the 2019 election campaign. The politician promised to list down to the smallest details the promises, of which nothing was realized.
The people of Miskolc thank you, but they don't ask for this!
