What is ELI? It stands for Extreme Light Infrastructure, which is a new research infrastructure of pan-European interest. It is a laser project that aims to host the most intense beamline system in the world. It will focus on the development of short-pulse secondary sources of radiation and particles. They had to use a small portion of their seven-year budget that came from the European Union. It was a hard decision, he said, because billion forints for a single project is a lot.
Shortly after the election, it withheld one billion forints promised earlier for the planning stage of the project. They claimed that no money whatsoever will be coming from the European Union.
Of course, all this was just a charade to mislead the people of Szeged, who were naturally keen to have this prestigious project built in their city. As late as August there was still no decision. Apparently he is thinking of spending this amount of money on Fidesz-led cities. It would prove that the former communist countries cannot, after all, be trusted with an important pan-European project of extreme scientific importance. So, they reluctantly gave their blessing.
Too bad that some people have a good memory. The Rakosi version was the one you attribute to Kadar mistakenly and to Orban maybe correctly. However Hungary and Poland are both basket cases and whilst they do not represent existential danger to the civilised world they are both a serious nuisance and will continue to damage and obstruct our progress to a free, liberal and prosperous united Europe.
They are both inside the tent and pissing on those there. Recent estimates of the number of galaxies that existed in the universe came to about two trillion over its Oh they had the talent way way back. Tough for VO to see what a great Brit loss has turned itself into.
