LMP proposes referendum to ban nuclear energy in Hungary

The opposition LMP has proposed referendums to ban the use of nuclear energy in Hungary and to switch over to renewable energies, the head of the party's national board told a press conference on Tuesday. Noting that the Paks nuclear plant's operation licence would expire in 2037, Mate Kanasz-Nagy said that the plant's current upgrade should be stopped and the facility shut down in that year.
