He added:

The ministry of János Lázár offered Gergely Karácsony an appreciable sum.

Regarding the upcoming mayoral election, he said that he is not surprised that the opposition parties have already proposed several names to run, as this has been the case in every campaign period, but at the end there is always only one candidate left.

However, in a world where Joe Biden can be president of the United States or Emmanuel Macron can be president of France, anything is possible

he added.

Regarding whether he would consider it appropriate, former State Secretary for Transport Dávid Vitézy explained to the mayor of Budapest that

he considers himself a proven and good specialist in the field of transport, but managing Budapest is a much more complicated task.

István Tarlós emphasized that "willingly or unwittingly, the current mayor is a part of big politics, which does not only consist of transport". In connection with the capital-state dispute, he revealed that the current mayor has decided on an unfortunate tactic. According to him, there is no such thing as

one day he wants to sprinkle salt on the government's place, the next day he extends his hand so that we can be more friends and give you some money".

He emphasized: the possibility of cooperation with the government should not be eliminated. According to him, he also had disputes with the prime minister on various issues, but in the end they always found a solution.
