It was a pleasure to meet @perparim_rama Mayor of #Pristina and share ideas on mobility and sustainable city development. Tactical urbanism provides a new way of looking at urban development by prioritising the citizens and human well-being. We look forward to our cooperation!

Change is coming to our region! Kudos to @ttomasevichr for a fantastic first-round result in the Zagreb local elections.👏I am thrilled that our sister city might soon have a green mayor. "Greener and more just" is exactly what Hungarians want too!

Csatlakozom a megdöbbentő belarusz gépeltérítést a lehető legkeményebb szavakkal elítélő európai politikustársaimhoz. Az EU-nak a kellő határozottsággal kell reagálnia az európai szuverenitás megsértésére, a polgári repülés veszélyeztetésére és Raman Prataszevics elhurcolására!

I join my fellow European politicians condemning in the strongest terms Belarus' outrageous rouge state behaviour. Attacking European sovereignty, endangering civil aviation, abducting journalists must be met with appropriate EU-level countermeasures.

Abusing social rights, limiting the scope of workers' action is reason enough for this government to go. My response to General Secretary Spera of @ETF_Europe AB the most recent violation by HU's govt of the right to strike. Orban's anti-worker agenda should never be tolerated.

We knew the #IPCCreport2021 would be devastating and it is. This is a 1,1 °C warmer world, and already approaching climate breakdown. To tackle the crisis we can't just rely on clean energy expansion. We need post-growth economic policies & systemic change

UN Report: Massive Wake-Up Call to Cut Emissions | Climate Council

The latest IPCC report shows we can navigate a narrow path and avoid climate catastrophe, but only through immediate and deep cuts to our greenhouse gas emissions.

The EU's Recovery & Resilience Facility (💶) mandates MS govts 2 work W/ municipalities in shaping national plans. PM Orban uses it as a political tool, ignores our priorities in order 2 damage opp. election prospects. This is yet another breach of EU-law!

Budapest left out in the cold on national recovery plans - Eurocities

This year, the municipality of Budapest expects a decreased revenue of €245 million, or roughly one third of the city revenues in 2020, according to the city’s Mayor, Gergely Karácsony, who shared...

It was a great pleasure to welcome @RagnarAlmqvist @IrlAmbHungary at the City Hall. Hungary has a lot to learn from Ireland's example of investing in education to become a small-sized economic powerhouse. We look forward to celebrating #Budapest150 together later this month. 🇮🇪🇭🇺
