expresses anger towards PM Orbán not being in the country when the people need him
He calls on the prime minister to break off his holiday in the Adriatic and order his ministers home from luxury yachts
As Portfolio reports
workers at the Dunaújváros Ironworks (Dunaferr) staged a protest this morning over delayed salaries
gathering outside the management building at 7 AM
assured that payments would be made later in the day
though the possibility of instalments has sparked dissatisfaction
The demonstration concluded peacefully after an hour and a half
but workers have agreed to protest again if payments are not made by 2 PM
This protest follows recent management decisions to reorganise working hours
signalling a downsizing of steel production
Péter Magyar reacted to the situation in a Facebook post and called on the Hungarian Prime Minister
The government has bailed out the Dunaújváros Ironworks by not paying the workers on time
it also became clear that the government was lying when it promised three weeks ago to resolve the heat crisis in hospitals
temperatures in wards and operating theatres are once again above 30 degrees Celsius in many places
seriously endangering the recovery and ultimately the lives of Hungarian patients
The TISZA Party calls on the Prime Minister to interrupt his holiday in the Adriatic
order his ministers home from luxury yachts and take immediate action to resolve the above and replace the incompetent leaders immediately
The question arises as to why Viktor Orbán is on holiday on a luxury island in the Adriatic at a time of ‘war’?
What’s going on in hospitals with inadequate air-conditioning in this heat is unimaginable
It’s catastrophic for patients and staff
The government needs to take emergency action and this has been going on all summer long
Go ahead and vote for them again in 2026 if you want more of this
The heat wave in Hungary is terrible but it is not the norm
you are wrong as usual to ask the government to invest billions into air conditioning when this heat wave may not happen again for centuries
What do you think he can do; he is not qualified as an air-conditioning installer
It would be much better for you to seek mental help so that you will not mentally and physically abuse your next spouce
Eh excuse me Maria expat outside of Hungary
I personally stayed in the hospital here in August of 2021 and the heat was so bad I had a friend bring me a fan and still slept in sweat
For breakfast you get a slice of bread and a bit of chicken paste or honey
You should just shut up because you do not live here and do not endure these conditions
you shoot off your mouth with no knowledge
Vapid posturing by an opportunistic stuntsman
Gov’t should not interfere in a private company having some internal issues with their pay system to appease employees
employees will bail and find other work…which in the longrun will fix the problem by forcing the hand of owners
Hospitals have their own budgets and management who are paid to run the business of healthcare within it
shorter shifts for staff and outdoor (in screen tents) time for mobile patients can alleviate some of the issue
Installed fans to move air is often a good idea for the temporary problem
People who work in extreme heat in large commercial kitches often wrap towels around their midriff or tucked down their back by folding over the collar to absorbe sweat
Did that in longterm care facilities where staff were way overheated while elderly and infirm were whining about being cold constantly
The last thing most people want is more government oversight and interferance in thier lives
that open the door to the gov’t forcing sanctions against the general public to get from it what is desired from the governments’ viewpoint
https://www.worlddata.info/europe/hungary/climate.php
objective case for air conditioning in medical facilities
you clearly don’t live in Hungary and cannot be a regular visitor if you think the current heatwave is a once in a century event
perhaps this year is slightly above average
but it’s staggering in a country as hot as Hungary EVERY summer that air conditioning is not widespread in Hungarian hospitals
Even public buses in Hungary are largely now all air conditioned for without it travelling anywhere during 4 months of the year would be completely intolerable
If bus passengers deserve AC don’t you think the sick deserve the same privilege
Even in more temperate countries public hospitals are air conditioned; it helps with infection control as AC systems can be fitted with HEPA filters that serve to control cross infection between wards
not all European hospitals are air conditioned
France’s climate nazis ensured that not even the Olympic village was air conditions
thereby giving an advantage to athletes from warm climates
There are some remarks on the net that people are actually punished for overuse of air conditioners
I am sure that if Hungarian hospitals would if they could install air conditioning
the Dictatorial Brussels would fine Hungary for overuse of energy
I can see the same critics that now complain about the heat complain about the cold
it would be good to convince Peter that abuse of women is unacceptable
And I hope I never have cause to visit a public hospital
I’d probably return to my home country for treatment
I’m not surprised to read that you don’t live in Hungary
So many full throated Fidesz supporters seem to live abroad and don’t experience the reality of life in this country while declaring their undying love for this regime
I’m planning to leave and I cannot be the only one
ROME — A police crackdown on unauthorized air conditioning units in the seaside Italian resort town of Portofino has ignited local “vendettas” as neighbors spy and report on one another for the infraction
instead of increasing your 5 minutes of fame
First figure out how to install air conditioning units in old buildings that do not have vents
Have you sought mental help so that you will not abuse your next wife

who come to study in our different English language programs from 32 countries
We are not a big institution – with so many teachers and even more students – which means, our teachers know their students – especially the international students – personally
As it is said at our university “The student is not only a Neptune code at our institution.” (Neptun code is an identification code for the official electronic study system in Hungary.)
that the professors and the students have a more personal relationship – students usually accepted as colleagues in different research projects – and they can solve their problems within a friendlier atmosphere
In this academic year two of the international students were involved by their teachers in the researches of the Institute of Engineering Sciences and another 2 international students in the research project of the Secudit IT security
Talking about our student life: we are one of the four proud keepers of the Selmecbánya heritage in Hungary
Selmecbánya is a city now located in Slovakia however before the I
World War in the time of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy and even before it was the part Hungary for a thousand years
Selmecbánya was a famous and rich city with hundreds-year- old mining and metallurgy traditions
however the teachers and professors from there moved to the new
small Hungary and they established new schools – one of them in Dunaújváros – on the base of the Selmecbánya traditions
The academic heritage of Selmecbánya is a living cultural tradition: our students have groups based on their study programs and every group has their official ceremonies
Our foreign students can join these groups with the willingness of learning some basic Hungarian language
It is also important to mention that we are really proud of the modern educational infrastructure of our campus
The University of Dunaújváros has great laboratories
a part of which serves the practical needs of our education
and quite a few of them are devoted to research & development in cooperation with the significant industrial companies of our region

one of the very few with the same function in whole Europe
Another laboratory of ours working with the NASA and the ESA creating and testing materials for spacecrafts

We provide accommodation to every international student in our dormitory buildings at a reasonable price

for a complete academic year at our university
It is EUR 4.400,- for one academic year of a master program

We offer the preparatory program of ours to those new international students
whose level of English language needs to be improved before they start a bachelor or a master degree program

The average living costs for an international student in Dunaújváros is around EUR 200,- per month however it also varies depending on the living style and habits of the student
Study in Hungary: Many foreign students choose their universities based on different factors
What are the advantages of Dunaújváros compared to the other Hungarian cities
Dunaújváros is a middle-sized town in Hungary on the bank of the Danube
with so many peaceful and green places for relaxing and studying
The campus is also located in the inner city of Dunaújváros
so from the campus it is easy-to-reach our contracted doctor’s office
department stores with only a few-minute-long walk
Our town is situated 70 kms away from Budapest
fast and comfortable to travel to Budapest from Dunaújváros by either the long-distance bus service or by train
which takes a little bit more than one hour
you can always find a place for more party
in Dunaújváros you can always find a place for comfortable study – which does not mean that the student cannot find parties here – and when we are talking about fee paying educational programs
Study in Hungary: Could you share the basic statistics (total offered programs
Our higher educational institution was established in 1953 in Dunaújváros
Our study program range has been gradually but continuously extended since that time
Now we offer 4 vocational higher educational programs
2 master programs and 12 professional further educational study programs
Now the 15% percent of our total student population are international students
Besides other inter-institutional collaborations we have got 59 international partner institutions just in the Erasmus program
New students’ arrival we expect from countries of the Near East
from which areas we already had both full-time and part-time students in the last few academic years
Starting every academic year each student is obliged to make a student health insurance which makes medical services in our town available for the students
The students can contact the customer service of the international relations office and the Study Administration Office on the work-days of the week in person
and have also got the opportunity to ask their questions via e-mail
We have got student mentors whose work support the adaption of the student to the life of the campus and also to the Hungarian environment
Study in Hungary: Who are your notable alumni
We receive information from a significant number of our graduated international students who managed to get a good job and keep their position at due to the professional knowledge and the open-minded
eager-to learn-new-things attitude in their profession
which they developed/ acquired or improved in their university years in Dunaújváros
Some of them work as managers on the level of intermediate leadership of enterprises and middle-sized or large companies
Study in Hungary: What are the potential employment opportunities and where do most of your graduates work
Dunaújváros is a middle-sized industrial town in Hungary
which has such formidable companies in its industrial areas
(the largest steel factory of our country) or Hankook Tyre company
Certainly Budapest offers a wider range of opportunities to our graduated students
Nevertheless many graduated international students of ours travel back to their home country or find a job in their profession in European countries
The National Economy Ministry said on Tuesday that Hungary’s government has made “every effort” to save the Dunaújváros steelworks
which acquired the steelworks in a liquidation procedure
has “failed to fulfill its commitments.”
The ministry said Liberty had pledged to gradually ramp up production at the steelworks from zero to 100,000 tonnes/month over four months from February
but progress to that end had been “limited”
“Liberty promised everything, but has delivered on practically nothing,” it added
The ministry said it was constantly communicating with Liberty on future plans and payroll
It added that Liberty had been instructed to ensure wages were paid
said it had launched a liquidation procedure against Dunarolling Dunai Vasmű
ISD Power said Dunarolling had failed to pay its bills for about a year
ISD Power is in the process of being wound up
As we wrote earlier, Indian-owned steelworks Liberty Dunaújváros has paid over 3,000 employees their wages for August, on time, plus a one-off HUF 150,000 bonus, details HERE
The government has pointed out to Liberty Steel that payment of the wages at the steelworks must take priority
and called on the company to ensure payment of the wages due without any delay

the Innovation and Technology Ministry said on Friday
Innovation and Technology Minister Lászóo Palkovics
minister without portfolio in charge of the upgrade of the Paks nuclear power plant János Süli
and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade state secretary Orsolya Pacsay-Tomassich met with University of Dunaújváros leaders on Friday to discuss the school’s future after its senate decided to make the switch from a state-run institution to a university operated by a foundation
Süli said the university could play a “key role” in the development of Hungary’s nuclear industry in future
in addition to continuing its earlier functions
Pacsay-Tomassich said a nuclear knowledge centre being established at the university would combine practical and theoretical instruction in a singular manner
raising Hungary’s international profile in the field
The government recently introduced the foundation model for universities with the aim of establishing a more flexible
while boosting universities’ competitiveness
15 of the almost 30 state universities in Hungary have already made the switch or decided they want to be run by foundations
