Due to the rains of the past few weeks, the muddy water from the mine at the top of the mountain once again flowed down to Recsk, onto the residents of the nearby street, Szabad Európa wrote.
Since the mudslide, there have been explosions in the mine. This year, there have already been at least four explosions in the Recki mine, according to a local resident who told the newspaper, they were illegal. As far as he knows, the nearby houses are within the protective distance or on its border, and moreover, the explosion was not announced with a regular sound signal, but was honked from cars at Hunyadi Street.
There has been a lot of rain in recent weeks, and in several places, clayey, muddy water flowed down from the mine on the top of the mountain to the residents of Hunyadi Street, whose houses and gardens were first flooded by the mudslide on June 8. They have since moved back, but every time it rains, they swim in the mud, the slush is huge on the street and in the gardens. Until they opened the mine above their heads, the rain never caused a similar problem, the water was caught by the vegetation of the mountain. However, the forest on the top of the mountain was destroyed due to the opening of the mine.
The mining company, Andezit-Bau Kft. Istvan Nagyas well as Fidesz Lajos Kósa became famous as a friend István Fiák property. Ltd. after the mudslide, according to locals, he distributed 100,000 HUF emergency aid per family. In July, however, a government decision was published, which compensates up to HUF 500 million to those whose residential property was damaged due to the mud avalanche caused by the flash flood in June.
The mayor told Free Europe that he wants to renovate the houses of the people living there with half a billion forints provided by the government, but the source of danger has not yet disappeared. They would only stay there in the long term if the danger posed by the mine would cease, for example, they would re-establish a wooded and bushy area on the top of the mountain, on the side of the village. However, the manager of the mine stopped communicating with the locals after the money was distributed after the mudslide.
Every time it rains, they have to worry about another mudslide. This is an untenable state
said the mayor.
