EU taxpayers' pearls to be cast before swine in Hungary
In the village of Ujlengyel and surroundings near Budapest, farmers and citizens are agitated by a recent loan of 5 million euros from EU Cohesion funds to a Dutch company for the construction of a massive pig farm for 50 000 animals, located about 500 metres from the town.
Bankwatch Hungarian member group National Society of Conservationist (MTVSZ) is supporting locals and advocating their claim that a large share of these EU funds are being invested in the wrong project.
