Zsolt Tárkányi made public the letter of intent signed by Szijjártó and CATL.
The Fidesz government committed to facilitating the import of Asian workers, funding infrastructure development, and designating new factory areas near Debrecen for the Chinese company CATL. This was revealed in a declaration made public by MP Zsolt Tárkányi. The document, signed by state secretary Levente Magyar in 2022, paved the way for the establishment of a battery factory in Debrecen. The local government agreed to prepare and sell land to CATL at no additional cost. They also ensured smooth immigration processes for 1,000-2,000 non-EU workers, planned to create housing for them, and proposed training programs funded by public money. Tárkányi criticized the Fidesz government for hiding this document for years, emphasizing that no factory should receive preferential treatment without adhering to regulations.
