The opposition Mi Hazánk party has pledged to take “firm” action to prevent the planned construction of a battery plant outside Debrecen, in eastern Hungary, adding that the project would make the city “impossible to live in”.

Mi Hazánk deputy leader István Apáti said if the project were to be completed, the city would not have enough drinking water in a few years and property prices would plummet, and “job seekers from the third, fourth worlds would flood the city”.
