The former prime minister and his party, the Democratic Coalition, attacked the utility reduction from the very beginning. In essence, it attacks and criticizes every measure that the Orbán governments have ever taken, reports Magyar Nemzet, referring to Origo.
Gyurcsány and his allies handled the economic crisis after 2006, resulting from bad governance and then the world crisis, by making the people pay the price for their harmful decisions.
That's stupid
- said Gyurcsány in January 2014, when Origó asked about the overhead reduction. A few months later, in March 2014, he already said at a public forum in Szeged that the utility reduction had "failed".
They will reduce utilities three more times, and then they will pay so that we are willing to heat. You can applaud the fact that we cut off all profits, but in the end we die of hunger, because a well-functioning economy needs profits, said the former prime minister.
The central element of Gyurcsány's politics was profit and profit, as well as the suffering of people. Most of us experienced this firsthand: between 2006 and 2010, the price of electricity doubled, while Gyurcsány arranged for his own family company, Motim Zrt., through Magyar Villamos Műveken (MVM) to get electricity cheaper as an industrial consumer - reminds Origó.
In Brussels, too, the Gyurcsánys are fighting against utility reduction
It turned out several times that the Gyurcsánys would deal with the problem of rising market energy prices by increasing the utility bill. It is worth noting that not quite two months ago, almost the entire Hungarian left voted against giving people and businesses access to energy in a cheap, affordable way in the European Parliament. In December 2020, DK's Csaba Molnár would have made people who heat with natural gas pay for the cost of their carbon dioxide emissions. the momentous Katalin Cseh advocated for Hungary to introduce regulated electricity and heating prices a year ago.
