The difference between Hungary and Germany is that corruption in Germany is institutionalized. If you take money from the EU in Hungary guess where you are _____encouraged_____ to spend it? Why do we have Siemens/Alstom/Volvo vehicles instead of our own (Ikarus/Raba)? Beacuse we were not allowed to buy our on shit, that's why.
- ody4242 6y agoThe reason behind is that Ikarus/Raba are relics of the past? Look at the Raba Aquadux 4000 fire truck for example, that was developed in the last decade, and here are a couple of reports on how great it is: https://www.langlovagok.hu/7639/az-uj-magyar-narancs/ https://www.langlovagok.hu/7639/az-uj-magyar-narancs/ https://totalcar.hu/magazin/kozelet/2019/09/28/milyen_tuzoltoautokat_vehettunk_volna_a_magyar_helyett/ https://totalcar.hu/magazin/kozelet/2019/09/28/milyen_tuzolt... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir0mydDaPx8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir0mydDaPx8 (this is not a driver fault, there are no wave breaks in the truck, other firetrucks can do slaloms at way higher speeds) https://index.hu/belfold/2019/09/19/tipushibak_miatt_borulhatott_fel_a_132_millio_forintert_vasarolt_tuzoltoauto/ https://index.hu/belfold/2019/09/19/tipushibak_miatt_borulha... https://24.hu/belfold/2017/11/07/sulyos-problemak-vannak-a-kirivoan-dragan-osszerakott-magyar-tuzoltoautokkal/ https://24.hu/belfold/2017/11/07/sulyos-problemak-vannak-a-k... Firefighters avoid it like the plague... And this is also a great example on why independent press is important, as none of the origo reports on this truck mention the issues with the firetruck: https://www.origo.hu/auto/20150224-ujra-gyartanak-tuzoltoautot-magyarorszagon.html https://www.origo.hu/auto/20150224-ujra-gyartanak-tuzoltoaut... https://www.origo.hu/auto/20170921-uj-tuzoltoautokat-kaptak-a-katasztrofavedok.html https://www.origo.hu/auto/20170921-uj-tuzoltoautokat-kaptak-... https://www.origo.hu/auto/20170926-tuzoltok-a-tanpalyan.html https://www.origo.hu/auto/20170926-tuzoltok-a-tanpalyan.html I don't understand why you'd want to keep these dead companies on life support from taxpayer money. Would you be willing to buy a Lada for the same price as a Skoda or Kia?
- ody4242 6y agoDon't get me wrong, I believe that there are many many good Hungarian companies like Prezi, LogMein, Zwack, Pick, Cafe Frei, Balabit, Commsignia, etc, that have great products, it's just that Raba and Ikarus does not belong to this list. At all.
