Government beefs up police force with 1,000 new officers

By

From the autumn 1,000 more police officers will patrol public areas, police secondary schools will be allowed to admit 150% more pupils, and implementation of a Village Guard programme will begin, as part of the cabinet’s new public safety programme, the details of which will be outlined by Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai at the opening ceremony of the Police Officer Training College today.

The government will also allocate Ft 610 million to the National Bureau of Investigation to help a more efficient uncovering of serious crime while police will deploy Ft 500 million worth of CCTV cameras, chiefly in Budapest.

    Bajnai and the MSZP are cutting back on everything
    except increasing police numbers to protect their
    ever-vulnerable, corrupt, commie arses.
    Hungarians go to church, plough the fields,
    sweep the streets (sometimes), do the daily
    stint at office and/or factory. All are aware that
    Hungary has slowly, but surely, disappeared
    down the plughole, socially and economically.
    But are helpless to do anything about it.
    The MSZP should have been “finished off”
    along with their other erstwhile floundering flopster, Gyurscany Ferenc.
    Hungary is in a state of flux. Half-baked policies,corruption everywhere, and jobs and
    investors dwindling by the minute.
    Where’s the aspirin/palinka?

    How about putting 2 or 3 of them in the park at Deak ter so it doesn’t look like such a dump, of course it may already be too late.

    Judging from your end of the corner, the dump your type caused suits you just fine. Don’t complain commie dummy! It’s been reserved for true Hungarians. Voila!
