According to documents and video recordings obtained by Átlátszó, a fire and explosion occurred during testing at the SK Battery Manufacturing Kft. factory in Komárom.

Although the government denies responsibility, parliament records show that ministers were questioned repeatedly about scandals related to Samsung SDI.

Telex cites leaked internal documents showing that shortly before Átlátszó was targeted by the Sovereignty Protection Office, the management of the Samsung battery factory was discussing ways to shot down our investigations into their pollution.

The court's decision has been illegally overruled by the government, which has ruled that the factory can continue to operate even without an environmental permit.

The railway between Debrecen and Nagykereki was one of the busiest branch lines but the interests of a Chinese corporation took precedence over those of the residents.

The Budapest Regional Court annulled the environmental permit of the Samsung battery factory of Göd, ruling that the permit was issued illegally.

Lőrinc Mészáros’s company continues to receive billions in public money to build waterworks for the battery plant which they were supposed to complete a year ago.

Locals protested against the plant's operation and expansion in early May with a public forum and a petition with thousands of signatures.

Mayors and residents in the area are prepared to physically resist to stop the project. On-the-spot report from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

For nearly two years, 1,700 tonnes of hazardous battery waste, stinking of solvents, were stored in unprotected warehouses on the site of the former Abasár barracks, while the authorities issued unsuccessful notices to remove the waste.

The enviromental permit for the BYD factory in Szeged shows staggering numbers of water and energy needs and leaves question about waste disposal.
