Szeviep, which was a member of the Tisza M43 consortium that led the construction of the stretch of the M43 motorway between Szeged and Mako, owes subcontractors some Ft 3 billion for their work.

Last week the subcontractors blocked a lane of road 47 in protest against Szeviep, which recently sought bankruptcy protection.

On Thursday, the National Infrastructure Development Company severed a contract with the three members of the Tisza M43 consortium, which had been on the second phase of the construction, saying the group had broken its agreement with the government."
