Tarlós Denies Decision Made On Budapest Congestion Charge
- 24 Mar 2015 8:00 AM
No decision has been made on whether to introduce a congestion charge in Budapest, the city’s mayor said at a session of the municipal assembly. István Tarlós said no decision had been made concerning either the extent of the zone or the fee. He said efforts were being made in Brussels to “fend off” any requirement to introduce a congestion charge.
He insisted Jobbik representative Marcell Tokody had deliberately distorted the issue with a view to alarming people.
Tokody told journalists earlier that the matter of whether to introduce a congestion charge in Budapest lay in the hands of Fidesz alone and did not depend on Brussels.
He added that it was “interesting” that Tarlós, in a written reply to a question, had not denied reports that the zoning and fee had already been planned.
