Mayor asks provider to remove mobile transmitter, again

Gyula Molnár, mayor of Újbuda (Budapest's District XI) has sent an open letter to the CEO of mobile phone provider Vodafone Magyarország to request the removal of a transmitter built in the district, writes mobilport.hu.

Molnár wrote the letter to the company's current CEO Dr. György Beck after years of correspondence between leaders of the district and the mobile provider did not bring any results.

In his letter, Molnár writes that the transmitter on Bazsalikom utca was built without permission nearly a decade ago, and, following long legal procedures, was finally removed earlier this spring. However, it was erected again at the same location a few days later. Molnár believes the company wanted to exploit a loophole in the law that defines the old case as closed and requires a new one to be opened for the repeat offence. The mayor writes that this action is "unbelievably arrogant" and asks Beck to respect the opinions of small communities.
