- As already pointed out, they shouldn't have stolen the private pensions... I think an example is being made and the Orban Regime have only themselves to blame for it- arrogance and deceit mixed with rank incompetence is a toxic mixture and [...]
- "reducing state subsidies for medications this year" Maybe now people will wake up and see how Fidesz is stealing from the poor to give to the rich ... Already my mostly elderly neighbours are complaining about the skyrocketing prices for [...]
- In simple terms - the Hungarian government is spending too much! Any householder knows that if you keep on spending more than your earn then you are going to run into trouble at some point. It seems that no [...]
- In my first statistics course our prof gave an example: In a little village all 999 inhabitants have an income of 100 000 Forints and the millionaire who just built his redidence there has 100 000 000 Forints ... So [...]
- Buried somewhere in MTI's usual uninteligible reporting style is the news that the Government, far from creating 100,000 jobs a year, have overseen a reduction of jobs. A basic policy failure. Did MTI ask for and report a comment on [...]
- From the headline one could think that this is a brand new Viktorette brain child. Of course, it's not. It's the rebirth of a organization that was disbanded last year. I'm all for giving credit where credit [...]
- Both! Annul the annual fees :)
- Any country that levies ridiculous anti-business taxes and grabs private pensions can reduce FOR ONE YEAR its deficit. And, according to Eurostat, Hungary's 2011 GDP growth was 1.4% against an EU average of 1.6% You are right about a pitiful bunch [...]
- Not such a bad thing for local agriculture when the French door closes and a Russian one opens.
- Generally speaking, state monopolies are not a good idea. The notion that the state can somehow run business better than businesses is a nonsense. Again, it seems to be anti foreign devils and their sinful hypermarkets and pro some friends [...]
- Let's face it, the EU is just plain stupid. Makes you wonder just how smart it was for Hungary to join their club.
- Aloof, that list of companies doesn't mean much - who's behind all this ? That's what I'd like to know.
- Wolfi@ Please READ the article before writing dribble as usual-it clerly states that they bought all the group and that it is agreed that they will use the Volksbank name only for 12 months and then will rebrand. Jesus!!
- The Viktorettes are sure to blame it all on the Socialists. It has to be their fault. Just has to be.
- "Budai, who is government commissioner in charge of holding public servants to account" Should read: "Budai, who is Orban's commissioner in charge of holding non-Fidesz public servants to account" Wonder how his Esztergom investigation is progressing?!
- Even Viktor Orban is not fool enough to let BKV go belly up. Can you imagine what that would do to the Hungarian economy. This whole thing is a carefully orchestrated play.
- Yea, yea, blame it on the rating angecies and the Eurozone. This is a Hungarian problem. Who would want to invest when the government can change tack at the drop of a hat, when there is evidence that contracts are [...]
- "...the possibility of continued employment for judges over 62 in certain cases" I think that they still have not got the message. The issue is about the enforced retirement of a huge number of judges to be replaced upon the [...]
- Key in our mind is not the size of the programme, but the level of conditionality which needs to be sufficiently strong that the Orban administration has little room to go off-programme”. It seems that the IMF may have a problem [...]
- Came very close to opening up a company in Hungary, but canceled in light of recent events. Businesses like free, stable environments, but Hungary has neither. So disappointing. What has happened to Hungary breaks my heart.
