Leftist parties, “hand in hand with Brussels”, would have private citizens bear the costs of pollution and climate change by raising utility prices, the deputy group leader of ruling Fidesz said on Saturday.
László Böröcz said the party would not support any proposal that would result in rising household energy prices. Fidesz stands by the view that large polluters, such as multinational companies, should bear the costs of climate protection, Borocz said in a video message sent to MTI.
Leftist parties, on the other hand, would have private citizens pay the price of the green transition, he said.

He encouraged Hungarians to fill out the National Consultation survey to state their dissent.
Attila Steiner, the state secretary responsible for energy and climate policy, said in a video on Facebook that the survey’s question on carbon tax referred to a proposal currently before the European Commission, which would “burden families with the costs of carbon emissions”. That could mean “hundreds of thousands of forints” in additional costs to Hungarian families, he said.

Some of them aren’t promoting a healthy lifestyle are they! Anyway, climate change is also about not having so many children, Population Matters is the name of the charity.
If elected these carbon tax idiots from the left will enact new regulations outlawing wood burning stoves from the homes of Hungarians whom cannot afford to heat their homes any other way. These leftist parties do not care how many people they hurt as long as they please the carbon tax idiots.
Clean environment is important. Garbage should be disposed of in the proper manner. However, as long as China and India pollute the air, whatever Hungary does is uneffective. People should not be penalized for other countries’ excesses.
There is also a different point of view on climate change. Many scientist say that there is no such thing as climate change. There is only power grab and money grab by governments.
