Samsung battery plant turns toxic for Orban's re-election campaign
On the outskirts of the town of God, not far from Budapest, white smoke rises from a Samsung electric vehicle battery factory accused of exposing workers to cancer-causing chemicals, with Hungary's government under attack for failing to shut it down.
86 percent of people have heard about the pollution at the Samsung factory, and even among the ruling party, more people think that the factory should have been shut down than those who disagree. Tisza voters are much more dismissive, according to a survey commissioned by Telex.
At a campaign event near the Samsung factory, he said: "A thick dossier of battery factory reports and documents has been collected near the Tisza River. "These factories now cover the country," he said.
Although the pollution caused by the battery factory has been known for years, in the last elections more people in the city voted for Fidesz than for the opposition. On Thursday, however, Péter Magyar brought together what is probably the city's biggest movement to date during the Tisza Party's country tour. The mood, at least apparently, is changing.
