Anyone who has eyes to see, ears to hear and is not very forgetful does not even need to prove - they themselves proved during their administration - that the globalists who call themselves left-wing only know the economic policy of austerity and deprivation. They applied it without batting an eye.
They will also use it if they come to power as a result of some disaster, many of their manifestations already foreshadow this. Well, emptying the long-desired state coffers after so many years of "fasting" is an understandable effort. Understandable, but of course unacceptable. They promise a "fairer" multi-rate tax system (read: tax increase), basic income (i.e. cutting the middle class and supporting those who don't want to work), Swiss-indexed pensions (which practically means a pension reduction), rationalization (i.e. downsizing) of the family support system and thousands of other "goodies. In other words, overall, the return of the failed – but profitable for them – economic system, which the country once fell into.
It would be "Brave New World" if they won.
On the other hand, the government's austerity policy is not the guiding principle, but on the contrary, increased support for job creation and investments - the Mária Kopp Institute for Population and Families (KINCS) informed Magyar Hírlap in response to one of the questions of the national consultation.
The proposal in question concerns whether the government should strengthen Hungary by giving constitutional protection to family allowances, low taxes on work and pensions, so that no government can take them away from the people during crises. According to KINCS, the politics of the left has not changed in the last twenty years, and for them there is only one solution for dealing with crises: raising taxes, reducing pensions and family benefits. It is enough to think only of the 13th monthly pension taken away by the former socialist-liberal government or the increase in tax rates.
According to the KINCS, the old slogans have resurfaced these days, which point to the need to protect fair burden-bearing, pensions that enable decent old age, and the returned 13th monthly pension. The most effective way to do this is to ensure these rights in the Basic Law. Left-wing politics have already impoverished people, as the proportion of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion did not go below 28 percent under their government, and in 2010 a third of Hungarian society belonged to this category. The proportion of people living in severe financial deprivation reached 23.4 percent in 2010, which has greatly decreased thanks to the job creation and family subsidies of the past 11 years. In 2019, the proportion of those exposed to the risk of poverty and social exclusion was 17.7 percent.
Their opinion also confirms the intention that the achieved achievements receive constitutional protection .
It is true that the very democratic globalists - if given the opportunity - promise that they would arbitrarily change these laws completely democratically, i.e. by breaking the laws and grossly defaming the two-thirds decision-making obligation , but let's hope that they will not get a chance to re-establish the communist dictatorship for its introduction.
If so, may God have mercy on Hungary!
