Ursula von der Leyen, în centrul unui nou scandal. Rusia acuză Bruxelles-ul de jocuri de culise într-o afacere de miliarde
Russia accuses the European Commission of attempting to remove a Russian company from Hungary's nuclear project, claiming Ursula von der Leyen is personally involved. The project involves expanding the Paks nuclear power plant with two new reactors built by Rosatom, valued at €12.5 billion. Moscow alleges that the EU is pressuring Hungary to replace Rosatom with a Western supplier, which they argue would lead to higher costs and reduced efficiency. The Russian Foreign Ministry claims von der Leyen seeks personal gain from this change, referencing past controversies over EU contracts with Pfizer. The Hungarian government, now led by Péter Magyar, is reviewing the project's financial conditions without abandoning nuclear energy's role. Rosatom is ready to clarify project costs amid these developments, while Russia warns Hungary of the risks of yielding to EU pressures.
