Hungary’s government appointed a new commissioner for overseeing cooperation with the Budapest municipal council, the government’s press office told MTI on Tuesday.
Csaba Horvath was appointed to the task as of November 25. The commissioner’s tasks will include monitoring local government projects, public transport and other city development projects.
Horvath was deputy mayor of Budapest from 2006 in Socialist colours until the breakup of the Socialist-liberal coalition in the municipality earlier this month. He has also been an MP since 2002.

“overseeing co-operation with the Budapest municipal council” What sort of gobbledygook is that? It sounds as dubious as the appointment itself. The local shysters employed by the council
turn up to do mundane jobs by the vanload. And spend most of the time eating, smoking, drinking, talking and generally making a nuisance of themselves at the taxpayer’s expense.
Just another day in the life….
