Activists opposed to the privatisation of Eger’s Markhot Ferenc hospital issued an ultimatum yesterday threatening to occupy the offices of new administrator HospInvest and the homes of its three senior executives unless the company leaves the hospital within three days.
The demonstrators claim that 620 hospital employees who have yet to receive severance pay plan to exert pressure on HospInvest by staging hunger strikes, forming live chains and engaging in civil disobedience.
In response, HospInvest chief executive Gábor Kollányi told Népszabadság that “we are still living in a country governed by the rule of law.”
