Szentkiralyi Claims Karacsony and Magyar Have Formed a Pact in Budapest
- 12 Sep 2024 5:51 AM
Alexandra Szentkiralyi, the head of ruling Fidesz's Budapest chapter, on Tuesday said Gergely Karacsony, the city's mayor, and Peter Magyar, who heads the opposition Tisza party, had formed a pact in the capital.
"There are more and more reports saying that Gergely Karacsony and Peter Magyar plan to lead the capital together," Szentkiralyi said in a video posted on Facebook.
"This isn't what Budapest residents voted for," she said. "The people of Budapest got to see for years that to Karacsony, leading the city is about nothing more than favouring [Democratic Coalition leader] Ferenc Gyurcsany's people."
She said this was exactly what Budapest residents had rejected in the local council elections this summer, adding that Fidesz also said "no" to the "Karacsony-Magyar pact if it's about continuing things the way they were".
"We, on the other hand, are on the side of Budapest residents because Budapest deserves more," Szentkiralyi said.
