For the time being, there is no word in Hódmezővásárhely that the Márki-Zay administration would withdraw the land tax, even though more than a hundred thousand people have already signed the petition against the rude joke. According to Zsolt Benkő (Fidesz–KDNP), Márki-Zay is deliberately punishing the farmers with the land tax, while also spending more on deferred visual investments than he expects as income from real estate.

According to our information so far, the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely, Péter Márki-Zay, has no intention of withdrawing the previous decision, and they intend to collect the land tax in the future, which is scandalous considering the public anger - this is how municipal representative Zsolt Benkő commented to Magyar Nemzet on the news, according to more than a hundred thousand people have already signed the petition against the land tax. The politician, who is also the president of the Hódmezővásárhely Economic Association, explained: he expected that if a national petition was launched, many people would join the initiative, so its success does not surprise him. As he said, he was one of the first to sign the petition.

Péter Márki-Zay, on the other hand, continues to defend the decision and excuses himself by saying that the tax revenue will be used for social purposes. Zsolt Benkő pointed out that the city administration does not even understand what is wrong with the farmers with the land tax.

The local government representative from Fidesz also touched on the fact that the city administration and the office handled the introduction of the tax gender in a very dilettantish manner. According to his words, the notice was published on January 27 that landowners must apply for self-declaration by the end of the month.

– I am a municipal representative in the outskirts, and I am also a farmer, so many people called me on the phone indignantly. People had no idea that they had to pay the landowner or the user of the area, or if the two did not coincide, then both. Chaos was complete due to insufficient information, said the politician from the ruling party. According to him, the land tax is especially outrageous given the fact that last year a historic drought hit the country, including the Hódmezővásárhely region. The corn was lost in its entirety, in some cases causing many millions of forints in damage to the farmers, who are still in quite a lot of trouble. - According to Zsolt Benkő, Márki-Zay is punishing a small group with the newly introduced tax.

The mayor probably does this because he can think that most of the farmers won't vote for him anyway. Instead of introducing a land tax, it would have been easier to suspend or postpone some visual investments, and then much more money could be used for social purposes.

He expects eighty million from the land tax, but he spent almost three hundred million forints on beautifying the tower of the town hall, and four hundred million forints on the reconstruction of the old campsite in the middle of the city.

34 tourists came to the latter last year, added the Fidesz municipal representative.

As we wrote earlier, the local government led by Márki-Zay decided last autumn that from January 1, all local owners of fields, gardens, orchards and vineyards must pay a tax of almost ten thousand forints per hectare. Following the decision, the Association of Hungarian Farmers' Cooperatives and Farmers' Cooperatives and the National Chamber of Agriculture launched a signature collection against the land tax.

In connection with this, the Prime Minister's Cabinet Office announced that more than a hundred thousand people have already signed the petition, which was launched to protect Hungarian farmers. In a press release, they wrote: the introduction of the land tax threatens farmers and landowners in other left-wing settlements.

There are more than four million landowners who are threatened by the land tax if the left comes to power, which is why the agricultural organizations and the government joined forces, they pointed out.

 

Civilians Info: It's an old joke, when uncle Kohn comes home to socialist Hungary, he would buy coffee from a vending machine in Keleti, but he swallows his money anyway and doesn't give coffee. After a while, the old man's face brightens and he says: clever, very clever.

This is only half a joke. What Márki-Zay is now trying in Hódmezővásárhely, the left would introduce in the whole country. Now they are testing how great the resistance is, and then they would use this weapon live. Let's say as much money can be collected from it as the EU is withholding right now. It is more than 5,000 billion, taking into account the productive areas.

In other words, the many shadows that now have a government are projected. The well-known tax hikes, belt-tightening, money slippage. The farmers are not our people anyway, - they believe, most of them had ancestors who were kulaks. Then sweep the attic!

Good, very good!
