A delegation of flood-afflicted people from Borsod county delivered a petition and a goat to near the main entrance of Parliament on Kossuth tér yesterday.

 

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán should be made aware that the cabinet has not fairly divided state funds for post-flood reconstruction and restoration, the group said.

 

The unruly goat was meant to symbolise the Vadász stream in Szikszó, which caused hundreds of millions of forints worth of damage to the village, which has a population of 6,200.

 

Time is needed to resolve the flood damage, Népszabadság wrote.
