Hungary awards M6 highway concession to foreign-owned firm, raising ownership concerns

The Hungarian government awarded the concession for the northern M6 highway to Dutch-Austrian-owned M6 Duna Autópálya Koncessziós, bypassing state-linked MKIF. This signals a potential shift toward foreign control of the national highway network, a reversal of prior preference for domestic operators. The move raises political and strategic concerns over infrastructure sovereignty, though financial terms remain undisclosed.
