Even Orbán’s supporters would introduce the euro in Hungary

Change language:

2/3 of the supporters of Fidesz, Orbán’s ruling party, are in favour of the European Union. Furthermore, a solid majority of them would introduce the euro in Hungary.

Hungarians are pro-EU

Based on the Policy Solutions’ most recent study, the Hungarian public values the EU membership. The majority of them believe that the country’s membership is beneficial because of the financial support Hungary receives from Brussels. One of the other strongest arguments is the freedom of travel. Meanwhile, the Hungarian public is passive regarding EU affairs. 

Only a few people in Hungary would go on the streets to support an EU policy.

The new study titled “How much Europe would we like?” was published last Friday. The research analysed what the EU means for the Hungarians, and it seems that the most frequent association is financial support. Furthermore, Hungarians link the EU with certain positive values such as strength, freedom, opportunities and common goals – telex.hu reported.

Among the negative associations, the study highlighted the ideological pressure the EU exerts on citizens.

Travelling freely in the EU is a deciding factor

In general, Hungarians like to travel freely within the EU because it helps them study and work abroad. Illegal migration pops up as a crucial issue in this regard, but it has lost much of its former significance in the last three years. Still, migration was the second most frequent association among the survey participants regarding the EU.

Interestingly, only 14 per cent of the people regarded democracy, human rights, and the rule of law as significant values. However, that means a four-fold increase compared to 2019 data. Only 5 per cent brought up the subject of EU attacks against Hungary. Furthermore,

1 per cent linked the EU with George Soros.

The corruption of EU funds does not affect Hungarian citizens. OLAF or the European Public Prosecutor’s Office are also irrelevant topics for most of them.

  1. I support Orban and so do many of my friends. I do not know anyone that wants the Euro here in Hungary. Except the folks from the left. You can take polls and surveys and get any result the group taking them wants to achieve. The Euro is just another dying currency like the US Dollar. Hungary is better off with the Forint. No to the euro.

  2. The state of the Hungarian Economy, in a downward trending strong pattern, it can’t be DISMISSED again, to look at the introduction of the Euro Dollar into Hungary.
    We have to ACT – with Urgency through the continual decline of valuation to ALL other Major currencys – afforded to the Forint.
    It is HURTING us – and a reversal from this continual weakening downward trend of the Forint – a recovery – is not going to occur – in the near, short term or FUTURE.
    The decline of the Forint – its WORTH against ALL other major currencys – clearly gives clear indication, that rapidly, it continues to progress – getting into a catacylsmic penatrative malignancy – that is nearing Terminal.
    We have to Act – yesterday.
