Sebastian Burduja<\/strong>, adviser to prime minister Ilie Bolojan and former minister of energy, warned of the security impact of the sale of major dairy Napolact to a group owned by a businessman close to the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, according to Profit.ro<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Burduja requested a specialist report, opinions from the SRI and SIE, and an analysis of the sale file by the Commission for the Examination of Foreign Direct Investments (CEISD).<\/p>\n

As energy minister, Burduja questioned the sale of E.ON Romania assets to the Hungarian state-owned group MVM. The deal is now in limbo, as CEISD issued a negative opinion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July, Dutch company FrieslandCampina reached an agreement to sell its operations in Romania, including the Napolact brand and production facilities in Cluj-Napoca and T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, to Bonafarm Group.<\/p>\n

Bonafarm Group is a Hungarian agricultural group, controlled by S\u00e1ndor Cs\u00e1nyi, the executive director of the OTP banking group, the richest man in Hungary and the most important investor in agriculture in the neighboring country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. S\u00e1ndor Cs\u00e1nyi\u2019s profile transcends that of a simple private investor, emerging as a central pillar of the state capitalism model promoted by the government led by Viktor Orb\u00e1n. His close and documented ties to prime minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n point to an economic model in which large conglomerates do not act independently of the government\u2019s political agenda, but essentially become instruments for projecting the economic and political power of the Hungarian state in the region,\u201d Burduja reportedly states in a document.<\/p>\n
