Karacsony: Voters have chance for change in their locality

By supporting joint candidates of the opposition parties in the October local elections, voters will have a chance to change the future course of their area, Gergely Karacsony, the left-liberal opposition candidate for mayor of Budapest, said on Friday. The government has damaged health care, education and social care over the past nine years, Karacsony told a press conference. "We want local governments to have a chance to repair the damage and become islands not only of freedom but of solidarity as well", he said. Karacsony said the opposition wanted a fairer and greener policy in the municipalities based on solidarity.
