(MTI) - Istvan Gyorgy, Budapest's deputy mayor in charge of city operations, told that the municipality intended to charge a fee for use of public spaces with certain exceptions for events in the public interest. The Sziget Festival, he said, did not fall into this category. In response to Gyorgy's comments, Sziget's press chief Viktoria Veto told MTI that the organisers trusted that, in spite of his previous threats against the festival, the Mayor of Budapest did not want to push the festival - a serious economic and tourist multicultural event - into a hopeless position.
