Hungarian government asked to pay back extra profit from utility fee increase to families
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has demanded the government pay “extra profits earned from seven-fold utility fee increase’ back to families.
DK’s executive deputy leader, Csaba Molnár, told an online press conference on Wednesday that the cabinet was selling gas above average consumption at five times the price it paid for it. The MEP said that being a social democrat, he found it “nauseating” that out of a HUF 5,000 gas bill, the profit that the government was pocketing was HUF 4,000.
“It is indecent, unfair and goes against everything the state should do in such a situation,” he said.
