Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Mol Nyrt., the country’s largest company by market capitalization, is leaving the 7.9 billion-euro ($10.4 billion) Nabucco natural gas pipeline project to ship Caspian fuel to Europe.
“I’m not an expert on the details, but what I have seen is that even the Hungarian company, Mol, is leaving the whole project,” Orban told reporters in Brussels today, adding that “Nabucco is in trouble.” There are “many uncertainties around the Nabucco project that would be hard to ignore,” Mol said in an e-mail today, without confirming or denying that it had abandoned the project.
