Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Radio Kossuth Good morning, Hungary! he gave an interview on his show this morning and he was the first to talk about the virus.
He said that this rainy, gloomy autumn is the favorite weather of the virus. We also experienced last year that the virus spreads faster at this time. It can be seen that only the vaccine helps against the virus. Anyone who does not take it can easily become infected.
In connection with rising utility prices in Europe, he recalled that in 2002 people were warned that utility prices would rise again if the left won. This was denied by the left, yet the overheads were raised many times. Even now, the left demanded market energy rates, if we had fulfilled this, then a Hungarian household would have to pay 370,000 forints more per year, so utilities would be 32,000 forints more expensive per month than an average Hungarian family, he pointed out .
"In Brussels, I want to achieve climate protection by raising energy prices," said the prime minister. While we would reduce utilities, they believe that the only way to force people to choose other energy sources is to raise prices. Together with the other V4 countries, Hungary demands that Brussels withdraw these plans. Instead of helping, Brussels is making the situation worse. At the next EU summit, the utilities issue will be on the agenda again , he added.
The economy has reached its pre-pandemic performance, and this is thanks to the Hungarian people. He said that based on the latest government decisions, all seniors will receive HUF 80,000 in November. In addition, pension benefits will be increased by 1.2 percent retroactively due to higher inflation.
He reminded that, in addition to the elderly, families raising children will also receive help, after next year 1.9 million parents will receive a refund of their taxes paid this year.
In addition, the wages of nurses will be increased by 21 percent and those of nursery and cultural workers by 20 percent in 2022.
The prime minister announced that one million young people will be affected by the fact that they will not have to pay social security. If we manage to raise the minimum wage to HUF 200,000, we can end a good year , he pointed out.
They are also fighting to be able to return the entire 13th month pension, he said. The conditions for this are not yet in place, but if everyone in the country does their job well in the coming months, it will become possible, he said.
He also pointed out that it is not possible to raise wages with credit, so it is an important element of economic policy that economic growth and wage increases are synchronized
He pointed out that, after their large-scale salary increase in 2013, teachers may receive another ten percent salary increase next year, which may be followed by a larger increase in 2023.
