While not a huge story, I’ve thought I had to share it here to highlight it’s absurdity, yet another example of where EU money ends up in Hungary.
TL of opening paragraph:
“On Sunday, a rescue helicopter was called to Fonyód, where eight years ago a rescue helicopter landing pad was built as part of a beach renovation financed by EU funds. The ambulances did not land there, but on a nearby soccer field. A Telex reader was surprised to find [on the spot that rentable beach beds were placed](https://assets.telex.hu/images/20220816/1660628664-temp-GPlbDb_cikktorzs.jpg) for rent at the Panoráma beach rescue helipad, which was renovated with EU money and then paid for. According to the Fidesz [governement party] mayor of the city, the part marked with a large H laid out of paving stones was never suitable for landing. The National Ambulance Service justified the overcrowding as the reason why the air ambulances landed there.”
Fuck Fidetz
So that’s why Orban built so many football stadiums! A visionary man. LOL
