Assent to enlargement of Paks nuclear power plant

The Hungarian Parliament in March 2009 voted for the enlargement of the Paks nuclear power plant. It happened without the government complying with its earlier promises: there was no referendum on the issue, no detailed background documents for the MPs to base their decisions on, not even a public debate was held. The government’s proposal was based on selective information, leaving all the important details out  so as not to confuse the MPs.
