He is the CEO of the Wealth Management Center of the Budapest Capital
According to the capital, the trustee made several mistakes, sharing too much information with those interested in the City Hall.
After receiving the confirmation report, Gergely Karácsony asked the chairman of the board of BVFK to evaluate its contents and make a proposal, the Mayor’s Office wrote in a statement sent to MTI.
According to the evaluation, the responsibilities of the CEO include receiving inquiries from real estate investors and representatives, contacting them and getting to know the intentions of investors as accurately as possible, so it is not objectionable that the CEO met and gave them information.
However, the CEO made a serious mistake when presenting to the representatives of the real estate investor the part of the previous decision-making study that presents possible long-term alternatives for the sale of City Hall after 2030. These alternatives have been rejected by the Mayor’s Cabinet before, they are clearly wrong to say that they do not want to sell City Hall, they wrote. They added that this is a mistake even if the CEO’s goal was to get as much information as possible from potential investors about the utilization opportunities.
The CEO also erred, he continued, in manifesting an “informal speaking style” in front of the real estate investor’s representatives that could cast doubt on an outside observer as to whether the CEO agreed with the city government’s decision. The chief executive officer, as an architect and real estate market expert, may have a professional opinion, but in his official capacity, he cannot express his views on such a sensitive issue, even in private, which raises doubts as to whether the city council’s intentions are correct.
According to the chairman of the board, these are mistakes that cannot go unnoticed, but he pointed out that the CEO, appointed by the former mayor István Tarlós in 2014, did his job to the satisfaction of the current city administration and is in itself valuable “in today’s polarized public life. “the fact that a professional, even if his political sensitivity or related communication skills are limited, manages a public undertaking over a cycle.
The President also mentioned that Balázs J. Barts had prepared for the utilization of a large-scale municipal real estate portfolio without any allegations of corruption. In addition, the work done for the public disclosure of real estate sales and rental documents, the introduction of an anonymous electronic bidding system and the preparation of a unified municipal real estate database are particularly appreciated.
He also mentioned that by preparing for the utilization of various development plots owned by the local government of the capital, the CEO simultaneously served to increase the value of municipal property and opened up opportunities for urban development.
Taking these into account, the Mayor, accepting the proposal of the Chairman of the Board, banned the CEO of BFVK from communicating with external persons in the future in the capacity of the official about the concept of medium- and long-term utilization of the Town Hall property.
