The Hungarians have stolen our Mercedes

A new Mercedes plant is to be built in Hungary. The daily comments: "Hungary has beaten us. Not in football or handball but in the race between the two economies to attract an investment worth 800 million euros for a new Mercedes plant in Europe. The Daimler group has decided in favour of the Kecskemet site in Hungary instead of Timisoara in Romania. You could almost say they have 'stolen' not just one, but hundreds of thousands of Mercedes from us. ... The Germans' only comment is that they have found all they need in Hungary. They remain silent about the losers of this contest, in which Romania, Hungary, Poland and Serbia took part. ... One explanation could be Romania's weak infrastructure."
