Drought damages Hungarian agriculture
The damage caused to Hungarian agriculture by drought in July and August may reach HUF 350 billion (EUR 888 million), telex.hu wrote. For example, the yield of corn and sunflower is dropping. György Raskó, a Hungarian agriculture economist, said the prices would not rise because the European market is open and the Ukrainian grain is here. Interestingly, the Hungarian government allocated only HUF 35 billion (EUR 88.8 million) to compensate the Hungarian farmers.

Mariavonthersa – the IDIOTIC commentary’s she or he, contribute to this platform, that in ALL are REMISS of any COMPASSION for human beings, especially those, from a “station in life” that are categorized of LOWER Class.
NEVER must it be FORGOTTEN as it WORSEN’s created by the Political Party of “it’s” membership, it’s ADORATION to the Fidesz name, it’s Leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary – it’s Demigod – Victor Mihaly. Orban – that of their DOING factually we have 3.1 million and rising Hungarians – living in POVERTY.
It’s claim, – communicating that this HEAT, that has engulfed Hungary, is nothing out the norm, that it is summer don’t forget, learn to live – put up with, adjust your lives to – REPULSIVE.
Return to the country of your birth, that you was it DESERTED post 1989, the pre Orban – Fidesz Government’s period in time of 15 years they have set about DESTROYING Hungary.
Meteorology – in records of History just on Hungary, clearly HIGHLIGHT that over the past decade, the “mean” heat, has increased near on 5%.
This fact – just highlights your IGNORENCE, the dismissive attitude – Mariavontheresa – you have to HISTORY.
Hungary – the “Road” taken by Victor Mihaly. Orban – it’s nadir that is already a cataclysmic disaster, and it’s end, in trust not being PERILOUS for Hungary.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – likened to Mariavontheresa – humongous FAILURES to the lessons, the EDUCATION of History.
Global Warming – agree it is HAPPENING or NOT ?
Rising Government Debt in Hungary under Orban/Varga the Fidesz Government – Happening or NOT ?
FAILINGS of the “Lessons” of History, the wrongful partnerships and relationships over time that Governments of Hungary have made, post 1918 on – that all have been a CATASTROPHE.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – his “Insular” demeanour of which Mariavontheresa commentary’s read as same – DEMONIAC.
