Speaking in Parliament, the PM noted that water shortages were reported from more and more places in the country, and singled out Gödöllő, east of Budapest, an area with “record high” water consumption, saying “we should not wait until the supply system breaks down.”
Magyar said that another one or two more days were forecast in what he called an unprecedented heat wave, adding that people should use as little water as possible “rather than fill up pools or water plants because that would lead to immense problems”.
The prime minister also called on people to observe a prohibition on open fires.
