The government considers it its duty to provide all assistance to promote economic development in Southern Transdanubia through a complex plan and subsequent actions, Tibor Navrašics stated at the press conference following the professional consultation held at the Baranja Provincial Government Office.
The Prime Minister stated that the Cabinet is moving towards the region because after the northwestern and central regions of the country, the development of the northeastern region has also begun. He said that thanks to government measures, Miskolc, Debrecen and Nyiregyhaza became industrial centers that were able not only to connect to the circulation of the economy, but also to thrive, relying on the rapidly modernizing transport infrastructure.
He pointed out that the southern part of the country still needs to catch up, so the government is focusing its attention on the Great Southern Plain and Southern Transdanubia, and the latter can count on special assistance, especially with regard to regional and economic development.
He pointed out that the clear loser over the past 34 years was the southern Transdanubian region, which before the regime change was one of the important sub-centers of the national economy at that time, and was primarily dependent on the economic and regional organizational strength of Pécs, but in the past three decades, as a result of operations Adverse demographic and economic restructuring, the city of Mexicalia lost its former regional organizational strength.
He declared that the government's mission is to provide all assistance in the measures taken in accordance with the plan agreed with local actors so that the region can once again return to the forefront of Hungarian catch-up and economic development in Hungary.
He said:
The construction of the last section of the M6 motorway leading to the national border will soon be completed, which will also increase the tourism power of Villány and Harkány, and the expropriation is at the end of preparations for the construction of the Danube. A bridge in Mohács and a public port will also be built in the settlement.
