The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) has to pay a fine for an improper public procurement procedure. They have been fined around HUF 60 million (EUR 162,678).

The Budapest branch of Fidesz shared the news of the HUF 60 million fine on its social media page.

BKK has “violated the rules” in the tender for the production, supply and operation of ticket vending machines, they write in the Facebook post.

Another fine for the renovation of the Chain Bridge

Another fine is expected for the renovation of the Chain Bridge because they failed to register subcontractors in time, the writer of the post added. They also wrote that “it is no wonder that there is no money left in Budapest”.

The organisation said that “this is the balance sheet of the left: they constantly make mistakes, they simply cannot or do not want to avoid irregularities”.

Including the latest fine, a total of almost HUF 300 million (EUR 813,379) has already been lost due to irregular public procurement, napi.hu reports.

Gergely Karácsony was asked, “Shouldn’t you rather surround yourself with consultants who don’t scrounge around for money, but help Budapest’s development with their work?”
