Hungary Socialists call on govt to 'clarify' procurements during pandemic

The Socialist party has called on the government to clarify the status of health-care-related procurements during the novel coronavirus epidemic, a party lawmaker said on Friday. Ildiko Borbely Bango told an online press conference that the foreign ministry had ordered the purchase of "outrageously priced" ventilators by international comparison, and one of the companies used had since been embroiled in a scandal in Slovenia.
