No Money For City Park Project In Budapest
The 2015 budget earmarks only Ft 8.8 million for the large-scale museum construction project in the City Park, Népszabadság reports. There is a 50% chance that the project can start next year, culture state secretary Péter Hoppál told ATV on Tuesday.

Only Ft 10 million was earmarked for the project in the 2014 budget, but Ft 1.2 billion was allocated to it in early summer, Népszabadság adds.

The most probable scenario is that only the new National Gallery will be built, allowing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to move to the Castle, where the gallery is now, Népszabadság forecast.
