Poll Finds Hungary’s Majority Against Paks Pact  http://www.xpatloop.com/news/poll_finds_hungarys_majority_against_paks_pactchrchr 7 Feb 14 Most Hungarians, 59%, believe that the expansion of the Paks nuclear power plant should be put to a referendum, according to a survey by pollsters Medián. While 51% are in favour of expanding the plant, 56% do not believe that the work should be carried out by a Russian company and financed by a Russian loan.

A slim majority of Fidesz supporters, 52%, favour the Russian deal, while 38% are against it. Moreover, 56% agreed that electricity will cost more due to the enormous cost of the expansion, while 35% said the project will lead to lower energy prices.

The results are based on a January 24-28 survey of 1,200 people.Source: Hungary Around the Clock
