Government commissioner for Budapest Botond Sára, a Fidesz politician, is preparing to have independent MP Bence Tordai’s house demolished, on the grounds that it was built without a permit, and the law mandates the demolition of any house built irregularly or illegally.
Commenting on reports that the mayor of Budapest, Gergely Karacsony, plans to nominate David Vitezy and Ambrus Kiss as his deputies, Fidesz group leader in the Budapest assembly, Alexandra Szentkiralyi, on Wednesday called "the deal unworthy of the people of Budapest" as it solely spoke to "power and money".
Gergely Karacsony, the mayor of Budapest, has said ruling Fidesz wanted to boost its own election chances by reducing the number of electoral districts in the capital and thereby diluting the city's voting weight in parliament relative to its population.
The leadership of the opposition Tisza party has decided to expel Evelin Vogel from the party, and party leader Peter Magyar will file a report with the police alleging blackmail, the party said.
