According to mfor.hu, the Hungarian MPs get much more than the Hungarian national average wage. Furthermore, they calculated how their salary increased in the last few years, and the results were shocking.Â

The members of the Fidesz-KDNP government who have been working so hard over the past nine years, I would say they deserve double that amount for what they have achieved. Their dedication to the people and the country has been great. The disturbing side of the coin is the opposition. If they have been picking up anywhere near as much as the government bodies, then they should be disgraced and thrown out of parliament. The opposition do nothing but moan, groan and cause continuous trouble to the government, and ridicule the people who want to enjoy the progress that Fidesz is bringing to them year after year.
The country under the socialist nearly bankrupt.
This government turned around the country completely.
The opposition is just ridiculous, especially the new neo liberalist’s who like talking about abuse of power when the government do something, but they even worst. We now have a sexual predator “opposition / leftist” woman in the EU parliament who love criticise the government. Opposition sucks!
