The roundabout between Zalaegerszeg and Zalaszentiván looks as if someone accidentally dropped it there, as it connects nothing to anything, just standing alone in the middle of a field. Next to it is a large project sign indicating that the municipality of Zalaegerszeg spent more than 500 million forints of EU funding on it. We looked into the history of this absurd-looking investment, which began a good four years ago.
**In theory, a private company, Metrans, will build a logistics center and container terminal on the site, for which the roundabout was built. However, Metrans’ project, announced in 2021, has not even started yet, because it requires a railway development that the government promised four years ago but has not yet begun.**
**In February 2021, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó announced that Metrans, a freight forwarding company, would build a container terminal and logistics center in Zalaegerszeg at a cost of HUF 15.7 billion.** The German-owned company’s goal with this investment was to enable goods arriving by rail from Adriatic ports (Trieste, Koper, Fiume) to be transported onward to Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland without having to pass through Budapest.
**In order to support the investment, the local government of Zalaegerszeg undertook to build an access road and a roundabout leading to the future container terminal, as well as to provide public utilities to the area purchased by the company. The local government has already fulfilled its commitments by the end of 2023, which can currently be seen on site.** As stated on the project sign next to the lonely roundabout, the work was carried out by Zalaegerszeg with more than 500 million forints in European Union funding.
**To put it mildly, the government did not rush into the delta track project: it was only a year after the foundation stone of the container terminal was laid, in the fall of 2022, that the Ministry of Construction and Transport, together with the railway company concerned, GYSEV, requested support from the EU**. The European Commission decided to provide funding for the Zalaszentiván delta track, and the agreement was signed in June 2023, but then another year passed in anticipation.
**GYSEV only issued the public procurement tender for the construction in the fall of 2024, but the results have not yet been announced, even though the application deadline expired in March 2025. According to preliminary information, the cost of constructing the delta track is expected to be HUF 12 billion, which will be paid roughly half by the EU and half by the Hungarian state.**
I love my Hungarian neighbors, but defund this Wannabe-Putin named Orban as much as possible. Spread the truth on social media. Then let Hungarians decide with their votes.
No responsibilities whatsoever. No accountabilities whatsoever. Kleptocracy.
Hungary is unironically more corrupt than Lithuania was in the 90s lmao. Like this is the type of stuff you’d expect to come out of some Central African authoritarian hellhole and not a modern day EU member.
It’s because it’s the target model. It’s still work in progress.
Maybe they were just learning how to make roundabouts that are conforming to EU safety standards, sort of getting practical hand on experience you know 😅
my favourite part is how train infrastructure development is needed (since 4 years now) for the actual development this is aimed to help to start
really just sums up hungary for you
i thought it was some hyperrealistic cities skylines screenshot lmao
disgusting , they should pay back
It is indeed a beautiful artistic display denouncing the corruption of the government.
yep sounds like my city skylines world
That’s a beautiful work of art, you don’t understand.
The art of stealing funds 😅
I would buy that for 150€s take it or leave it
Our money.
I thought for a moment that it was a cities skylines screenshot
This looks like when you started building something in SimCity, ran out of funds in the middle and had to wait for another dose of money to finish.
Local drifters haven’t conquered the roundabout for themselves yet?
Ah, the sweet return to communist level of corruption. To quote some good sayings of the era: “the idea is to build, not to get built” and from polish cult classic Miś: “You can make real money only on expensive straw investments.”
It’s a track for drifting
^(with your Mongolian horse)
Ah yes but according to Orban and his cronies, Brussels is evil and corrupt. Go look at yourself in the mirror
Great to have this wonderful country in the EU, when not advocating for RuZZias money to be returned, sending spies in to Ukraine to destabilize it, working against NATO interests regarding Sweden and Finland, they also make these beautiful works of art!
Lets see if the citizens of Hungary wants to change their goverment or if they would rather keep on going being Putins fifth columnists within the EU. My money is on the latter.
Defund, and remove all rights to vote and Veto within both NATO and the EU before these pissants do some actual damage to civilized society.
