Cabinet briefing: the Hungarian government announced new decisions
Prime Minister’s chief of staff Gergely Gulyás and government spokesperson Alexandra Szentkirályi held their usual Cabinet Briefing on Thursday, after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. Afterwards Wednesday’s meeting, Orbán announced on his Facebook page that the government accepted the Fidesz Group’s initiative to launch a national consultation on war sanctions. Read on to learn about what today’s Cabinet Briefing was about.
National consultation
The government attaches great importance to giving the people a voice, not the elites, who feel the consequences of European decisions on their own skin, Gergely Gulyás said. The questions will be presented in detail soon and can be filled in on paper or online.
Autumn and winter break in schools
The government decided at yesterday’s meeting that the winter break will be longer than in recent years due to austerity measures. This also means that there will not be an autumn break this school year. The winter break will last from 22 December 2022 to 8 January 2023. The last school day before the break will be 21 December, and the first day after the break will be 9 January. Like this, there will be considerable savings in the institutions.
Next year will be a difficult one
The government has also negotiated with local authorities. Gulyás said that the extra costs will be met with great difficulty, but that even greater savings will be needed next year. They are trying to find a solution for everyone so that they can survive next year, but each municipality will have to adopt a plan to rationally cut spending. Gulyás added that there is no crisis in the government, but they want to keep the budget deficit at 4.9 percent, which is why they have ordered a review of payments in the ministries.

No point to the ‘national consultation’. Doesn’t mean a thing. Tomorrow Putin will be declaring the four regions as part of Russia. Orban is up the creek without a paddle, and what will he do. Our economy is collapsing before our eyes and all he can think about is wasting money on this sham, subjective consultation and for what; to whom will he present the outcome he already knows.
Dismiss, distort, distract, dismay. The election bribes (and more) are coming home to roost.
So families will have to heat their flats all day and pay the savings the government gains. You can’t leave a child at home alone and cold.
The Hungarian Government – is IMPLODING.
Putin has bribed Orban so much, that he is forgetting that he is a member of European Union. Today’s Hungary problem is due to inefficiency and corruption from Orban being in decades of power. In a way Orban and Putin share similar traits, they have been in power forever…they share both autocratic and dictatorial traits.
