Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has highlighted how weather forecasts show more storms coming today and tomorrow, but "we can breathe a sigh of relief by the weekend. Let's look after each other."
In a video posted on Facebook after a visit to the emergency transport center of the national railway and coach company MAV-Volan, PM Orbán said: "It's mostly young people who work here; they are enthusiastic and dedicated." The prime minister expressed thanks to all the workers for their persistent efforts to keep the railways operational despite the weather disruptions.
"The fact that they managed to improve the situation a lot last night was mainly thanks to their dedication," PM Orbán said. "We thanked them for the work, but I can tell that the tasks are not yet over, because forecasts show that storms can be expected even tonight, especially on the Pecs-Budapest line, then on the way towards Szolnok, which can cause difficulties."
PM Orbán added that he was certain the outcome would not depend on the people working in the center. "They also direct the buses from here that can be used to rescue people stuck on trains, so they can be transported to their destination. This is the center and heart of rescue operations in times of emergency," he said.
PM Orbán said the forecasts showed difficulties for today and tomorrow, but afterwards, the situation is expected to become easier.
