Bread, butter, lard cost twice as much, says Hungarian opposition DK
Basic foodstuffs such as bread, butter and lard today cost twice as much as a year ago, a politician of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) said on Monday.
While the price of these products have “increased brutally”, several other basic items such as flour and eggs “are often simply missing from shelves”, Zoltán Varga told an online press conference.
He said that because of Hungary’s record high VAT in Europe, the government “is even making gains” on inflation.
Varga said the only solution to stop inflation would be to regain access to European Union funds and restore trust in the Hungarian economy.
Isn’t it time this Government did something about our country’s (deadly) obsession with the use of lard and about alcoholism?
Access to even more EU funds will lead to even more EU funds being side-tracked 😉 to elsewhere (than inteded).
