“The new bridge linking Kalocsa to Paks is part of a complex, well-thought-out, long-term national development and nation-building plan”, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at the inauguration of the Tomori Pál Bridge in Kalocsa on Thursday.

According to turizmus.com, Orbán stressed that the government is determined to attract as many investments and industrial enterprises as possible to the south of the Zalaegerszeg-Székesfehérvár-Kecskemét-Debrecen axis, in other words, to create economic power, and for this, Hungary needs roads and bridges.
The Prime Minister is convinced that the importance of the southern Hungarian regions will increase in the future and that the trade between Serbia and Hungary will play a key role in this, making this region the “gateway to the West”. As part of the plan, the M6 motorway will be taken to the border, linking the Croatian-Slavonian areas with Hungary, he said.
Orbán also pointed out that two of the country’s most important strategic investments will be built in this region: the new nuclear power plant will be built in Paks, and the Budapest-Belgrade railway line will be built not far from Kalocsa, which is one of the most important building blocks of the Hungarian nation-building programme.
