„Environmental disaster: state of emergency in three
counties,“ headlines Népszabadság, two days after a toxic reservoir at an
alumina plant burst in Ajka, in western Hungary, releasing a torrent of caustic
red sludge. The paper, which devotes several articles to the story, blames human
negligence for the disaster. Komment.hudeplores the fact that, „under pressure
form the EU, Hungary spends colossal sums on getting people to sort their
household refuse, which doesn´t even account for 5% of the trash“, while
failing to apply safety measures in the processing of industrial waste, a „true
time bomb“.
