It’s been some time since I wrote about the German unlegal trash export to Hungary. The Hungarian newspaper has today an article and one last week that follow up on the issue.

A few days ago, my image changed completly! Last year 20 villages in Hungary, two in Csongrád county, got delivered a total of 4.000 tons of rubbish from Germany! According to the county police of Bács-Kiskun Megye […] Continue reading →
