LMP calls on govt to tackle water crisis

The opposition LMP party has called on the government to tackle Hungary's "water crisis", which it qualified as "graver than the energy crisis". At a press conference on Thursday, Laszlo Lorant Keresztes, the head of parliament's sustainable development committee, called for a new approach to water management. In Hungary water is quickly drained away than retained, so more water flows over the borders than flows into the country, Keresztes said.
