The Hungarian government will fight for every single Hungarian job and will do everything to ensure that the one million jobs created in the last twelve years can be preserved - emphasized government spokesperson Alexandra Szentkirályi at a press conference in Szerencs, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, which she held in a confectionery that successfully registered for the energy subsidy program.
He emphasized: it is very important for the government that when the whole of Europe suffers from "this certain sanctioned energy surcharge or sanctioned inflation, then we stand by the people". He added that they do this, for example, by maintaining a form of utility reduction, with price caps, interest caps and gasoline caps.
The protection of businesses is also important for the government, as these small and medium-sized businesses provide jobs for many Hungarians, he said.
When the government decided on the energy subsidy program, it kept these jobs in mind. For this reason, one of the conditions for receiving the support is that at least 90 percent of the jobs remain, he noted. You can register for the program, which provides a 50 percent utility subsidy for the last three months of the year, until December 15, and you can submit the application until December 26.
The government spokesperson recalled what happened in a Facebook post:
"We don't leave businesses alone!
A cohesive team works at Halász Cukrászda every day.
When making cakes and other baked goods, they are guided by respect for tradition and commitment to quality. State Secretary Zsófia Koncz and I visited the family business, which employs more than 20 people and some of them have been working together for decades, which is also one of the foundations of development.
The penalty surcharges put energy-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises in a difficult situation, in order to stay afloat, the government launched a targeted energy subsidy program.
We have to protect the 1 million new jobs that we have created together in the country since 2010, and the work that Hungarian families and Hungarian businesses use to survive every day even in increasingly difficult conditions due to the sanctions."
