Opposition Parties In Hungary Demand More Info On Paks Investment
Hungarian opposition parties on Friday demanded further information on the impact of the planned investment in the Paks nuclear power plant. The main opposition Socialist Party said it was turning to the economy minister with a question about how the plant’s expansion would impact the budget, as well as seeking the opinion of the state debt manager about the deal’s likely long-term effects. István Józsa, the party’s deputy parliamentary group leader, said he had written to Mihály Varga for information about how the related 3 trillion forint loan would affect the budget.

Józsa said the only known aspect of the loan so far was that it would carry a 30-year repayment period.

LMP co-leader Bernadett Szél said she had challenged the national development minister to a public debate so that ordinary Hungarians could decide for themselves whether the Paks deal with Russia was a good one or not.
