Bold ideas: Will the ‘Orbán inflation’ be a Hungarikum?

According to a statement issued by the Democratic Coalition on Saturday, the opposition party is asking the Hungarikum Commission to make the ‘Orbán inflation’ a Hungarikum.

In the party’s view, it has now been proven that the government lied to the Hungarian people: there is neither war inflation nor sanction inflation, in fact it is Orbán’s inflation that is driving up prices. Their statement stresses that the inflation rate of over 25 percent in March is completely unique in Europe, three times the European average.

They added: “Whenever Hungary is discussed in any part of the world today, it is not in connection with pálinka, Tokaj aszú or Makó onions, but with the completely unique Orbán inflation. It will be the first and only Hungarikum that no country will want to import,” rtl.hu quotes the party as saying.

The Democratic Coalition recalled that the price of most basic foodstuffs in Hungary has doubled in the last two years, a price increase unmatched anywhere else in the world.

According to DK, there is only one way to curb the Orbán inflation: eliminate the cause, the Orbán regime.
