  "Hi Fanni. Now protesters against this project have been out voicing their anger. We can hear them there behind it and roughly 2/3 of Hungarians oppose it. Now what are their main concerns. The main concern is the financial burden.  It's estimated that this entire project is going to cost about €1.7 billion paid by the Hungarian taxpayer.  Right now currently actually the mayor of Budapest is speaking. He actually wants to run against Prime Minister Orban in national elections next year and he says there's so many different things that could be done with this money. People have gathered here. Some who are actually supporting were disappointed because actually this project or the money that's needed for affordable housing is now going to be used for this Chinese project. But people are also making clear they're not against Chinese people in Hungary but they are questioning the financial scope of this entire project that is putting a burden on Hungarian taxpayers and let's not forget Hungary is one of the most corrupt countries in the European Union.  This concern that through this project the government and people that are close to the upper elite of Hungary is just use this as an opportunity to stash away money."  "Hi Fanni.
