PM tells local councils to tighten budgets, cut red tape
The strictures of next year's crisis management budget mean that Hungary's local governments will have to tighten their belts, though cuts will not be uniformly top-sliced, Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai told a news conference on Tuesday.
Reserves built up from spending cuts will have to be tapped, red tape cut and activities beyond the remit of local councils accounted for elsewhere, said Bajnai, after meeting Lajos Kosa, the (opposition Fidesz) mayor of Debrecen.
