Hungary’s government represents the rule of law and the preservation of national diversity in Brussels and believes in the need to accept differences of opinion.
Teachers’ wages will be nearly doubled by Jan. 1, 2025, but this requires that Hungary receive the EU funds it is entitled to, Gulyás said.
Gergely Gulyás said the budget earmarks more than 2,600 billion forints (EUR 6.5bn) for keeping household utility bills low.
Gergely Gulyás noted that in August, after the government was formed, a strategic agreement was signed with the European Union with a view to concluding the conditionality procedure.
Gergely Gulyás said the EU’s sanctions have put the European economy in an impossible situation, “or at least in a very difficult one”; Hungary and the EU are in disagreement on the latter point.
As part of a deal with Brussels, an existing business tax would be seen as part of the general tax burden, so in Hungary’s case the corporate tax would not have to increase.
Hungary has done more than enough to reach an agreement with the EC, “but it seems the body is unable to form an objective opinion, and so the European Council will be hopefully more reliable in the conditionality procedure,” Gergely Gulyás said.
“The implementation of the sanctions has caused tangible disruptions to Hungary’s energy supplies,” Gulyás said.
Gergely Gulyás said the liberal media put Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on the same page with Donald Trump, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Jair Bolsonaro or Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hungary wants a ceasefire and peace talks to get underway as quickly as possible, especially in light of the recent missile strike in Poland.
