The leader of the opposition Socialist party has filed a report with the police over an oil leak in Gárdony, in central Hungary, over suspicion of environmental damage against perpetrators unknown.
Imre Komjáthi said in a statement that besides the report, the Socialists plan to submit a parliamentary proposal and demand fair compensation “to try and serve justice to oil victims in Gárdony”. While Hungarian oil and gas company Mol has taken steps to control the damage, Komjáthi said samples taken from local wells showed that “the problem is much bigger than we thought at first”. “The Mol oil leak in Gárdony has been surrounded by secrecy, incomprehensible explanations and telltale reviews. The amount of oil leaked and the degree of pollution remains unclear, and the company is dragging its feet on clearing up the situation,” Komjáthi said.
