Paks Mayor Suli officially confirmed as minister in charge of Paks upgrade

Daily News Hungary

Paks (MTI) – Government office chief János Lázár on Thursday officially announced the appointment of Paks Mayor János Suli as minister without portfolio in charge of overseeing and managing the upgrade of the Paks nuclear power plant.

Suli himself confirmed media speculation on Wednesday that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had picked him for the role.

Speaking at a session of the Paks Social Council, Lázár said Suli’s appointment would be made official within the coming days and he is expected to be sworn in on May 2. Given that Suli is currently mayor of Paks, a by-election will have to be held in the town to replace him, Lázár added.

He said the government’s goal was to have the Paks plant provide for 50 percent of Hungary’s electricity consumption, with the remainder to be derived from renewable energy sources, mainly solar energy. The nuclear plant’s purpose is to provide cheap electricity to households and the economy, he said.

The government office chief also announced that the government will earmark 1.5 billion forints (EUR 4.8m) for development projects in Paks and surrounding municipalities this year.
