Hungary-Russia contract concerning Paks NPP upgrade still kept in secret
Change language:
Benedek Jávor, the European Union adviser of the opposition Párbeszéd-Greens, expressed concern over the government’s secrecy concerning the insurance contracts of the upgrade of the Paks nuclear plant on Saturday.
At an online press conference broadcast on Facebook, Jávor said it was one of the key issues of the Paks upgrade whether the project is adequately insured. This is important so that the financial consequences of unexpected events are not burdened on Hungarian taxpayers, he said.
Jávor said it was reason for concern that in this year’s amendment to the contract between the Hungarian and Russian partners, “the Hungarian party waived its right to consent regarding the contracts concluded by Rosatom, and gave the general contractor a free hand on how to guarantee financial collaterals in the event of a delay or accident”.
Guaranteed Orban, his Fidesz party, and Meszaros are skimming off millions of dollars from this secret deal. That’s why the terms are kept secret and that’s why Fidesz prefers business contracts with corrupt autocratic states that don’t care about rule of law, bribery and kickbacks.
Another Mr. Mészáros win with a secrecy provision, this one requiring some Mr. Orbán Tender Loving Care (very busy man, however he appears to have time for a quick personal pop down to China):
