Fidesz joins protest against left-wing council's plans in Castle District

Fidesz representatives in the left-wing-controlled Castle District in the heart of the capital are backing a petition by residents protesting against plans to set up stalls that would "cheapen" the public space behind Matthias Church, a World Heritage site. Stall owners have been invited to ply their trade in the area of historical importance which is popular with tourists. Local Fidesz representative Mrs. Peter Sandor told a press conference held at the site that this would result in "smelly outdoor buffets full of rubbish". Mrs. Istvan Toth, the head of the local residents association said that Marta Naszalyi, the mayor of the 1st District (Momentum-DK-Socialist-Parbeszed-LMP party alliance) had failed to consult local residents about the plan.
