Hungarian news website Index reports that according to an employe's wife, conditions are far from ideal:
Nobody is allowed to leave the premises, my husband is in there too with the thousand people standing outside the buildings. They got no info on when can they go home, nor can go to the toilet, and while their last breaks were more than five hours ago, they don't hand out bottles of water either. Also, since phones had to be left inside, some workers can't contact their families to inform them about their whereabouts.
Let's hope those dogs will finish sniffing around the place soon. In the meantime, if you get your Mercedes a few days later than expected, blame 'an anonymous caller'.
