The next tram would be built between two cities in a similar situation, Debrecen and Oradea. In addition to transport, the development also has a national political dimension, as it would connect Hungarians living on both sides of the border, the politician emphasized.
According to János Lázár, the Fidesz Member of Parliament for the region and the government commissioner for the transport investment, the start of the tram is a historic moment for the people of Hódmezővásárhely, Szeged and all the inhabitants of the country.
