Gergely Karácsony discussed further cuts with the mayors, who believe it could lead to the decline of Budapest.

Eight Budapest mayors criticized Mayor Gergely Karácsony for plans to further withdraw district funds, claiming it could lead to the city's decline. They expressed concerns over a government deal that centralizes parking revenues, which they believe undermines local services and safety. The mayors argue that collaboration between city and district governments is essential for Budapest's development, and they feel the current agreement disrupts previously effective cooperation.
