“At first glance, one would say that there is no room in the budget for paying a pension supplement, Viktor Orban told Hungary’s public radio on Friday morning. The budget is always planned for a deficit, which is absurd, PM Orban noted, adding that “we will become a very strong, stable and happy country when the Hungarian budget is in surplus”. As he put it, the budget was ruined in the communist system.
“Not paying pensions to decent people who have worked hard in their active life is something that we cannot do. During the Gyurcsany era, they took away a month’s pension amid a crisis, but we are giving extra to pensioners, PM Orban underlined.
He highlighted that
the government has preserved the value of pensions and never thought of taking away the 13th month pension like the Left did when they were in government.
