CÖF-CÖKA: multinational companies should include small villages in their delivery portfolio

Zoltán Lomnici Jr. said that multinational companies should also include villages, small settlements, “rural outliers, abandoned settlements in this sense” on the delivery list.

Hungarian people must be ensured access to basic food in the smallest villages – he emphasized.

He noted that in some small regions of Hungary, where there are no shops or grocery stores, they try to provide the people living there with basic food using methods that raise suspicions of a violation of the law.

He reminded that although there have been countless efforts over the past 14 years to give multinational companies the opportunity to resolve the problem satisfactorily, this has not happened.

Norbert Heizler, the operational director of CÖF-CÖKA, stated that they consider it unacceptable that a multinational company is organizing against the state over the special tax on food, instead of negotiating with the Hungarian government on the merits.
