The situation is serious, a large amount of water is coming to the territory of Hungary, Viktor Orbán said after the meeting of the operative group. The Prime Minister announced that there are three dangerous locations, Szigetköz, the Danube Bend and Budapest.
The degree of danger is no greater than it was in 2013, so the task we have to solve is not unprecedented.
At that time, the Danube peaked half a meter higher than we expect now, we were also able to avert that - pointed out the Prime Minister, who asked the leaders of the operational team that everyone solve their tasks in their own area.
