Hungarian Greens want semiannual pay rise to public employees

Hungarian economy Hungary LMP money

The opposition LMP has proposed that the government should ensure a pay rise twice each year to employees of the public sector to compensate for inflation.

A party spokesman told a press conference broadcast on Facebook on Sunday that the move could prevent those salaries from losing their value. The measure could cost between 250-300 billion forints in 2022, József Gál said, adding that the programme could be financed by introducing a new, 25 percent upper bracket for the corporate tax.

Gál noted notoriously low pay in the sector,

which has led to a labour shortage in health care, education, law enforcement and welfare services. He said, for example, that the salary of a young policeman was a mere 207,000 forints (EUR 520).

    Have the Greens figure out where the money would come from? Are they advocating higher taxes?

    Had this idea been proposed by the government, the bot that is mariavontheresa would be singing its praises. Probably something along the lines of recognition for hard work during difficult times, followed by something negative about the US and Joe Biden, then the usual words of Globalist and Marxist.

    Will be interested to see when something favourable towards Fidesz is published. Can’t believe the connection wasn’t made sooner. The bot doesn’t seem able to grasp the concept on standards of living in this economy where inflation stands at 10.7%.

    Forgive me, but I think that I read, “…József Gál said, adding that the programme could be financed by introducing a new, 25 percent upper bracket for the corporate tax.”, but I guess my “Hungarian” must be lacking. Ooops, that’s in the Queen’s English.

    What’s wrong with higher taxes for the big multi-nationals in Hungary?

    When it comes to paying local taxes, the likes of Google, Facebook, and the rest, get away with “murder”, and are laughing all the way to the bank.
