Hungary Opposition Vows Vote On Russia-Linked Nuclear Plant RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED 05.02.2014 Hungary's left-wing opposition parties are promising that if they win April 6 elections they will hold a referendum on a government deal with Russia to expand the country's only nuclear power plant. Last month, Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed that Russia will build two new reactors at the Soviet-constructed plant in the southern city of Paks, which now supplies around 40 percent of Hungary's electricity. Russia is also expected to provide a 30-year loan of some 10 billion euros ($13.5 billion), covering around 80 percent of estimated construction costs. Topics: East Europe, Hungary Other news: Russia to Lend Hungary $13.7Bln for Nuclear Plant The deal was announced during a state visit to Moscow by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and was hailed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hero of the day

We appreciate that the UK is in the early stages of their policy development activities and are pleased to be involved in such important work. INTERVIEW
