We protect the overhead, we take away the extra profit! Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced on Wednesday on his social media page that he had announced the creation of an overhead defense and national defense fund.
The war drags on. Brussels policy is not improving, which together leads to a drastic price increase. Today, utility cuts protect families, but energy prices continue to rise. The government will establish a utility defense and national defense fund, the Prime Minister announced.
From this, we will pay the costs of reducing utilities and strengthening the national defense, he continued.
We oblige banks, insurance companies, large trade chains, the energy industry, telecommunications companies and airlines to pay their extra profits into these two funds, explained the prime minister. He emphasized that the measures apply to 2022 and 2023.
Those who gain extra profit in this war situation, we ask and expect them to help the people and contribute to the country's defense costs, he emphasized.
As we promised, we will protect families, pensioners, jobs and utility cuts even in the protracted war situation.
The Prime Minister said that further details of the measure will be presented at the Government Information starting at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
