Today I met with the team led by my colleague Lajos Mészáros, Member of Parliament for
Dunaújváros, who for many months now has been working to save the steel manufacturer
Dunaferr. Dunaferr has been ruined by its former owners, by its directors and, finally, by the
sanctions imposed by Brussels. Unfortunately we cannot expect help from Brussels, which
only provides sanctions, and nothing else. Following a proposal by the Honourable Member,
at today’s Cabinet meeting we took a decision whereby the Government will pay the wages of
Dunaferr’s employees over the next six months, at a cost of more than 16 billion forints.
Furthermore, in the coming months we shall work towards the possibility that six months
from now this steelworks – which is vitally important for Hungarian industry – will have an
owner that is able to guarantee stable and reliable operations.
