More than 40 percent of Hungarians expect a tough year in 2010, according to a Szonda Ipsos survey for public television released on Friday.
Of the 500 people asked in December, 41 percent said that their own situation and that of their family would be very difficult this year, compared to 46 percent who said the same in the same period of 2008.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
