Budapest Transport Authority Chief Resigns Due to the Political Conflicts Tearing the Capital Apart

  • On May 29, 2025, Katalin Walter stepped down from her leadership role at Budapest's public transportation agency amid ongoing political tensions in the city.
  • Her resignation followed a 14-hour city assembly session and tensions caused by political disputes and the government's solidarity tax.
  • Mayor Gergely Karácsony said Walter had served with integrity and cited an amateurish, petty appointment process and harmful political theatre.
  • Karácsony posted on Facebook that Walter was driven away by the political situation, and that "Budapest has again become poorer."
  • Karácsony warned that the metropolitan council teeters on the edge, suggesting ongoing conflicts could worsen public company management and governance.
