The promises of the prime minister candidate of the left are in stark contrast to the ruling political ideas of the left-wing bloc, he pointed out in the latest analysis of Századvég. - can be read in Magyar Hírlap.
Péter Márki-Zay and his left-wing allies have launched a poster campaign, in the framework of which they advertise, among other things, that "Orbán goes, utility cuts remain". In a recent interview with Népszava, the left-liberal candidate for prime minister also stated that the "utility reduction will remain", and he also categorically denied and "asked himself" that he would lift the 2014 freeze on residential energy prices. Given that the promises in question are in stark contrast to the left-wing bloc's previously voiced regime policy ideas, Századvég took a closer look at the possible background of the Márki-Zays' "turn of the stake".
The Gyurcsány association has been attacking the overhead reduction for years
Above all, it is important to emphasize that the energy policy of the socialist governments that reigned before 2010 was based on the market pricing of residential energy carriers instead of the currently valid official pricing. Between 2002 and 2010, the price of gas rose threefold, while the price of electricity doubled. In addition, in 2008 - the year of the outbreak of the global economic crisis - the cabinet led by Ferenc Gyurcsány increased residential utility costs four times in one year. In contrast, the civilian government decided in 2010 to freeze energy prices in real terms, and then a comprehensive utility reduction program began on January 1, 2013.
However, there are several signs that the left-wing forces are still committed to resurrecting their pre-2010 government policy, and if they come to power, they would introduce market pricing instead of low official prices. This statement is proved by the fact that Péter Márki-Zay previously explained: "Fidesz's utility reduction is unsustainable", "it is impossible to stop world market prices at the border", and "in order to transform the economy into a sustainable one, it is necessary to feel the increase in energy prices". .

2022 plus:
So the utility reduction remains, you could also read that the left would keep the 13th monthly pension, and after a few weeks it turns out that the social measures of the Fidesz government so far are all good and they will keep them. In fact, they do not touch the economic measures, the reduced taxes will also remain. Only then what will be new? There will be free beer and hot dogs, everyone can bathe in Lake Balaton for free, unemployment benefits will have no time limit, with the introduction of the euro, the minimum wage will be three thousand euros! Should we continue with the "Everything will be fine, just choose us" propaganda? We will be showered with a flood of promising lies.
The desire for power does not hold them back from anything, even though they could accept it, or at least think about a thought of Ferenc Deák:
"Never see people as mere tools, no matter how low they are. Respect the human dignity of everyone."
