Index – Interior – LMP spokesperson: Today it is just a misconception that Hungary is rich in water
According to Anna Süveg, the spokesperson of the LMP it is now just a misconception that Hungary is a country rich in water, because “since 2010, the Orbán government has been systematically dismantling the institutional system of environmental protection, and our water utilities are operating on the verge of collapse”.
The LMP fears that it will soon be in Szolnok as well battery factory is established. According to Áron Tóth, the president of the Jász-Nagykun Szolnok County of the LMP, this is at least what Ferenc Szalai, the Fidesz mayor of Szolnok, is preparing to expand the industrial park there.
According to the LMP, it is unacceptable that the locals were not informed or asked about the plans, said Áron Tóth at the press conference, who indicated that the management of Szolnok will decide in the next few days whether the city will hand over the water utility to the state. According to him, this would “fit in with the plan” to be able to meet the water needs of a battery factory.
He expects a clear statement
Áron Tóth asked Ferenc Szalai to comment on whether they plan to establish a battery factory in Szolnok or not.
We cannot waste our natural resources with such a dangerous investment
– he said, adding: the LMP will do everything to ensure that the city of Szolnok “does not join the ranks of environmental destroyers”.
At the press conference, it was recalled that it is organizing a demonstration on February 9 LMP In Debrecen, due to the investment in a dangerous plant there, for which the party has already initiated a national referendum on the subject, and the local government representatives are submitting proposals for resolutions that say that such plants cannot be established without the approval of the locals, MTI wrote.
