Jobbik Warns Against Raising Loan To Refurbish Budapest Metro Line In Budapest
The radical nationalist Jobbik party has said it objects to raising a loan to refurbish Budapest’s metro line M3, and proposes that central budget and EU funds be used for the purpose.

Speaking at a press conference, Gábor Staudt, the party’s candidate for Budapest mayor, criticised the government for giving its approval to the city council to raise a loan for the project, saying this went in “a fundamentally bad direction”.

This, he said, indicated “the failure of both the management of the city and of the government”, adding that “the government is pushing another loan on to the city” while withholding aid from state coffers.
