BUDAPEST, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2017 ) : Budapest's mayor said on Friday he is considering dropping the bid to host the Olympic Games in 2024, as activists announced they have collected enough signatures to force a referendum on the effort.
"If it turns out that enough Budapest residents have signed in favour of a referendum, then I will strongly consider whether the bid should be withdrawn," Istvan Tarlos said.
