Budapest mayors: Karácsony’s special deal threatens the operation of Budapest

Eight Budapest district mayors have called for the reversal of a decision regarding the city's parking system, arguing it threatens local governance. They emphasize the need for collaboration between the capital and district councils to meet residents' needs. The mayors criticize the mayor's unilateral agreement with the government, which they believe undermines their authority and financial stability. They plan to reform the Budapest Association of Municipalities to restore trust and cooperation. The controversy arose after the mayor's deal with the government, which included a significant financial support package but shifted parking revenue collection to the capital, impacting district budgets.
