Opposition pledges to curb public debt, inflation, corruption
Change language:
The joint opposition alliance has pledged to curb public debt, inflation and corruption if it comes to power after the April 3 election. Addressing a joint press conference on Thursday, Jobbik vice-president Dániel Kárpát Z said “not only corruption is brutal”, public debt and its interests had also doubled since 2010. “Every single Hungarian spends 140,000 forints [EUR 396] a year on interests alone,” he said.
“The government’s hapless economic policy, bad debt management and the brutal corruption rate are suffocating the national economy,” he said.
Jácint Horváth of the Democratic Coalition called for steps “regarding the fortunes obviously gained by corruption over the past 12 years.” Property that has been clearly acquired through corruption should be seized, he said.
Zoltán Vajda of the Socialists said the central bank’s “totally discredited monetary policy had cost it the market’s trust”.
Inflation has skyrocketed, despite the bank’s efforts to fight it by raising interest,
he said. Meanwhile, the central bank should finance its losses “from the monies it had outsourced to foundations”, he said.
All the Socialist and left wingers do is bring empty promises and the same old tired policies that are repressive and anti-Hungarian culture…No thanks, Fidesz and Orban are doing an excellent job and will be re-elected on April 3rd. 2022.
It is absolutely laughable for socialists to say that. Absolutely ridiculous for them to think anyone would believe them at this point. Leftist policies have never ever, in the entire history of mankind, resulted in a better society, and have been absolutely horrendous, hellish.
The leftists belong in the opposition,
