in the framework of which Ambrus Kiss performs the same tasks as before as deputy mayor, he added.
Gergely Karácsony expressed his joy about the fact that the Tisza Party has indicated that it wishes to take on councilor positions in the field of accessibility and transparency, thereby getting involved in the work of city management.
In response to a question, he said
if it is not possible to elect a deputy mayor in the long term, the mayor can nominate a person for this position, but this can happen at the end of a long legal process.
Gergely Karácsony replied to the suggestion that the proposals of the Fidesz fraction were not included in the agenda of the general assembly: Fidesz's proposals concerning public safety and the homeless issue came after the invitation was sent out. However, the general assembly can decide to put them on the agenda. He does not know the details of these proposals, but he will support them to be put on the agenda, Gergely Karácsony added.
Karácsony also revealed that, according to his plans, the honorariums of the representatives will be raised to the level of district self-government representatives, and he is also waiting for the factions' proposals regarding committee members and councilors.
As is well known, Gergely Karácsony spoke to Telex for the first time on Monday about the fact that he will not nominate a deputy mayor at the inaugural session of the Metropolitan Assembly on Friday after unsuccessful negotiations with the opposition parties.
According to Karácsony, he would accept Dávid Vitézy as deputy mayor if the opposition parties supported the candidacy of Ambrus Kiss.
Gergely Karácsony indicated that
in view of the party political situation, he does not nominate a deputy mayor.
"I cannot offer a peace bond if they want to cut off my right hand and humiliate the people who are the reason why this municipality is still standing, who have shown amazing professional and human standing in the past," he said, and later the to Inforadio that
As of Tuesday, Ambrus Kiss, the former deputy mayor, will perform his previous duties as director general of the Office of the Mayor, for which he will receive all legal authorizations.
The first man of Budapest also spoke about the representatives of the Tisza Party. In Karácsony's opinion, the political strategy of the Péter Magyars is difficult to interpret, "but it is also possible that they are following a tactic in the capital, that they do not take responsibility for anything, they do not want anything, they do not participate in anything, but in the process they qualify, and it would prevent the elected mayor from fulfilling his responsibility," listed Gergely Karácsony.
After his statement, Péter Magyar and Dávid Vitézy also accused Karácsony of lying.
Vitézy stated that he did not apply to be deputy mayor. As he put it, He also "just" agreed.
In his post, he wrote, "in recent weeks, I did not comment on the hype about the deputy mayor, which Ferenc Gyurcsány and Alexandra Szentkirályi created together, because I thought it was the mayor's job to decide with whom and how he wanted to work together.
Of course, I have conditions, but none of them are about powers, but about my program"
he underlined.
He continued, "I did not apply to be deputy mayor. What's more, after Gergely Karácsony's lies in the campaign, his personal, disparaging statements, and his failed performance as a city manager for 5 years, I had to think hard about whether it makes sense to talk about this request with him at all .
Péter Magyar also responded
Almost at the same time as Vitézy , Péter Magyar also reacted to Karácsony's interview. He recalled that although it was not his task, he initiated a personal consultation with all the list leaders. He then went on to say that the mayor had blackmailed him:
if they do not support Ambrus Kiss and Csaba Tordai, then the mayor prefers not to nominate anyone as deputy.
“This is what is happening now. There is nothing new under the sun. The actors of the old power elite are joining forces and attacking the only new powerful political force," Magyar wrote on his Facebook page.
Alexandra Szentkirályi, the head of the Fidesz faction in the capital, stated that neither Vitézy, whom she considers a traitor, nor "Gyurcsány's man", Ambrus Kiss, is supported by the ruling party.
Everyone is playing for the downfall of Gergely Karácsony
It is also memorable that a few days ago, Krisztina Baranyi, the mayor of Ferencvárosa, stated Egyenes beszéd program :
everyone is playing for the downfall of Gergely Karácsony in the assembly".
As he put it, "it seems from these games, typically political statements - not from an effort to reach a real agreement - that it is in everyone's interest that Gergely Karácsony fail." After all, in this case, the capital will lose its opposition leadership ".
"And can Fidesz, which has only ten representatives, say that it is only restoring legal functioning,
since the large majority of the opposition was unable to resolve that the city would be functional at the first constituent meeting and anyway"
said in the show.
The Dog Party also makes fun of this
As usual, the Hungarian Kétfarkú Kutya Párt hit the situation in Budapest with a joke. Gergely Kovács, the co-chairman of the party and the elected mayor of Hegyvidék, wrote on his social media page "Finally, an agreement has been reached in the capital!"
There will be six mayors, three of whom are Ferenc Gyurcsány, all delegated powers will be transferred to the Békés County Assembly,
a councilor can only be a horse, from now on anyone can run a company in the capital with a high-level clown qualification," he listed.
