Péter Márki-Zay, according to the coverage of Hódpress, which is funded by public money, visited the locations where improvements were made with the delegation.

The mayor did a ghetto

Among others, they went to the housing estate in Dobó, Bibó, Janáky streets, where even during the previous Fidesz city administration, a plan to improve the energy efficiency of the apartments was prepared and they also applied for the source. Péter Márki-Zay’s only job was to implement it, which, according to the people living there, they did not solve in the best quality. Many people complained about this on a public forum.

Péter Márki-Zay presented the development as one of his successes as mayor, where, according to Hódpress, the ominous sentence was uttered: “This is the “ghetto” of Hódmezővásárhely, but I think many people would be happy if ghettos in other cities or anywhere in the world looked like this. “

Residents are angry

The residents we spoke to were outraged by the mayor’s statement. Most of them did not see the light train, only read the city news portal or heard from others.

What are we? Small train safari park or reserve? Then at least they would have thrown sandwiches or vegetables in our faces! Or is it forbidden to feed the ghetto residents?

– shouted a resident. Another said that he is so “ghetto” that the mayor could even eat off the floor with him.

Can everything be done with us? When the election comes, we won’t be “ghettos”, but my dear Roma friends!

said another resident.

The last warning

We also asked the Roma municipality of Vásárhely about the ominous sentence. They responded with the following open letter: “Dear Mayor! We have repeatedly asked him to remove gypsyism from his political chessboard. He is constantly deceiving the Hungarian Gypsies. You proclaim that the Roma are important, but the list you led also got several people representing Nazi ideas into the parliament. He goes to Roma memorial days, but when foreigners come and there are no Gypsies around, he tells them they are ghetto dwellers. This is especially bad for us Gypsies and the Gypsies living in the settlements, because for us the ghetto still reminds us that a lot of Gypsies were killed or worked to death there. Dear Mr. Mayor! Last warning! Stop it! In the next such case, we will march in front of the town hall and demonstrate, and we will also notify the international press about the demonstration. You are only interested in what they write about you there anyway. Please don’t apologize because we don’t believe it anyway!”
