Budapest’s Own Giuliani Plan
"Learning from the achievements of former new York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Hungary’s Interior Minister Sandor Pinter has launched an outright war against crime in the Hungarian capital.

He reportedly wants beggars and loafers off the street and plans to have them temporaily and permanently employed some way or another. He was reportedly quoted saying, “We must give incentives for all members of society who despise work, they must learn and enjoy the dignity that comes with labor.”

Hungary is to also review its laws concerning social benefits and lenient prison sentences. America’s Giuliani reportedly decreased the crime in the Big Apple, earlier dubbed the ‘ Crime Capital of the United States ’.

During his tenure crimes decreased by at least 50%, while homicides fell by at least 60%. New York City is now considered the nation’s safest metropol and has attracted new inhabitants and investors."
