After Greenpeace and Habitat for Humanity, Tilos Rádió may also arrive in the Margit quarter.
Few people would have thought this about the Gergelys of Őrsi: once again, a principled organization applied and then won in the program called Margit-negyed.
This rehabilitation program was launched at the end of 2020, the original purpose of which was to renew and make the area around Margit körút more sustainable.
At the same time, in addition to Greenpeace Magyarország Egyesület, Habitat for Humanity supported by the György Soros foundation, Angelika Fekete also received the left-wing II. district, the opportunity to rent municipal property in one of the most valuable parts of Budapest at a significant discount.
This time, Angelika Fekete's former breadwinner, the Tilos Cultural Foundation behind Tilos Rádió, won the tender: they can rent a one hundred and thirty-four and fifty-two square meter property on Margit körút, Mandiner has learned.
There is no news about a discount, for the former, in addition to the rent of 242 thousand forints + VAT, the foundation must pay common costs, and then 35 thousand per month. Therefore, the Tilos Cultural Foundation will receive a two-room municipal apartment/office equipped with public utilities, equipped with its own meters, in which a podcast studio would be operated.
They plan to do the same in the 52 square meter property, so they have to pay HUF 90,000 + VAT per month, as well as HUF 13,000 in common expenses, also per month.
The acoustics of the above tenders and contracts are bad because, at least at the level of declarations, the socialist city manager has promised the people of the second district almost every year since his 2019 campaign that they will not leave the development and construction of rental apartments.
Not to mention that the decision was made on Tilos Rádió's application on World Housing Day.
"Whatever happens to municipal rental apartments, we will continue the work, as a result of which properties in a dilapidated state can be renovated as municipal rental apartments," wrote Őrsi in response to a ruling party bill. "I am convinced that our district can only win if the people who work here can see the district as their home in addition to their workplace... It is out of the question to give up our efforts to establish social and service apartments," the left-wing city manager emphasized.
A few weeks later, Mandiner was able to report that nine municipal properties were planned to be sold in II. district.
A year ago, Őrsi complained to Népssava about how few rental apartments there are in II. district. "It is not true that the majority of elderly people living here are rich pensioners. It is heartbreaking to see how many people apply for social rental housing. Many people need our help because they cannot support themselves," he said.
But the left-wing mayor also mentioned in the SpiritFM program that they "want to create service apartments on a social basis".
