The negotiations are in a much friendlier atmosphere, as can be gleaned from the public press dialogue between the Hungarian government and Brussels, said Tibor Navracsis in the Mandiner podcast. The Minister of Regional Development, in connection with whether Hungarians' trust in the EU has wavered, said: he is sure that there are those who have a more distant attitude towards the EU institutions.
The head of the department confirmed in the interview: by 2026, the salary of teachers must reach 80 percent of the average graduate salary, according to the government's calculations, this will be HUF 770-800 thousand per month. In the first two years, the European Commission provides the majority of the wage bill, and in the second two years, the Hungarian government.
Speaking about 2023, he explained: the country is facing a difficult period due to the war and the inflationary situation. At the same time, Tibor Navracsics is optimistic.
„However, I am an optimist, because I think that the Hungarian economy is in good shape, the EU funds are coming, so in '23 the processes will start which, I hope, will lead the processes to the already known channel from '24”
said the minister.
The government has signed the recovery plan, and the European Commission has approved the operational programs, so now the way is practically clear for the EU funds - emphasized Judit Varga in her interview with Magyar Nemzet. The Minister of Justice put it this way: in recent months, we have worked a lot to ensure that the Hungarian people receive the resources they are entitled to.
He added that they will make sure that the withdrawals go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. It is mainly post-financing for European Union projects, but the national budget is also prepared for pre-financing, explained Judit Varga.
After the current agreement, new negotiations will follow between the government and the European Commission
- said Levente Szikra on the M1. Based on the results so far, the analyst of the Fundamental Rights Center expects that the negotiations will once again end with favorable results for Hungary.
" Despite the fact that there are political differences of opinion, there are political debates and differences in political taste, this is indeed the case, but nevertheless the Hungarian government and the committee have proven in recent months that they are able to put these differences aside, and when in fact legal, professional it's about questions and specifics, then they can always reach an agreement, " said the analyst.
Speaking about the first arrival of HUF 130 billion in EU funding, he emphasized that the last obstacle to the publication of new EU tenders and the start of development has been removed.
