The sign proudly announces that the roundabout near Zalaegerszeg in western Hungary was built with 500 million forints (about $1.5 million) of funds from the European Union.
The roundabout was built to service a container terminal on a new railway line that would help provide this landlocked part of central Europe with better access to the sea. Rather than having to pass through Budapest, Hungary’s capital, goods arriving from the Adriatic coast would transit quickly through the west of the country into Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and beyond.
But there’s a problem. Years after the roundabout was built, there’s still no railway. Instead, the roundabout lies unused in a field, waiting for the Hungarian government to build the railway that would make it useful.
Critics of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán say EU-funded construction projects like these are a monument to the economic system his government has built over its 16 years in office. Orbán’s electoral success, they say, has combined relentlessly demonizing the EU – painting it as a decadent, liberal, corrupting force in Hungary – while happily accepting vast amounts of money from it.
Sounds fake to me cause no matter how much I looking it up there just few outlets that have story of this roundabout
You need to work on your searchfu, and dig more into your source credibility. At least until CNN newsroom is gutted by the WB takeover, they still have a fairly high factuality standard, if slightly progressive (American not European) bias.
Not all sat imagery is showing it as it’s new and imagery is expensive, so something like Apple maps, Yandex, and others aren’t updated enough. However google earth is and if you go straight to NASA Sentinel 2 shows it as of March 24.
