Green activists shut off entrance to Samsung battery factory in Hungary
Opposition LMP activists have shut off the entrances to the Samsung battery plant in Göd, north of Budapest.
Antal Csárdi, the green party’s deputy group leader, at a press conference held at the factory on Monday, called on the government to force compliance with the court ruling in respect of the validity of Samsung SDI’s environmental permit and reduce capacity by more than 98 percent.
Neither the environmental protection office nor the local government office had shown willingness to take action, he said. As we wrote before, Samsung factory in Hungary could be closed immediately under new court order, details HERE.
He said LMP would “persevere” with its action with the goal of forcing the plant to abide by the court’s ruling that the company was in breach of environmental regulations.
He said it was “obvious” that the government was only concerned with falling in line with the interests of multinational companies rather than protecting the health of the Hungarian public.
As we wrote earlier, fetus-harming chemicals were found in water near the Samsung battery plant, details HERE.
Do “greens” want electric cars or not? Do they prefer the necessary batteries to be made in the Third World, out of sight and under worse conditions?
@Falland, are you aware of the pollution that is occurring in Göd. Fidesz turns it’s back on Hungarians in order to make money there. Hungary is going back to being a third world country. Regulations on pollution and consideration of the community is what the people of Göd deserve.
Greens do not want an electric car / battery plant to destroy Hungarian nature. Do you Falland want that? Do you want Hungary to become an exploited third world country where big corporations can destroy local environment without any punishment?
