  1. Finance Minister -Mihaly Varga – “sprouting out” that economic growth next year 3% to 5% but that he would sign for 3%.
    “Pigs might Fly” a hyperbolic term used to describe the IMPOSSIBLE.
    Hungary we factually are Debt riddle growing, that the state of the Economy – the growing “erosiveness” of our Economy – places us Hungary, in a precarious position at this present time and into the future.
    Varga & Orban are the principle architects, that have designed and implemented the disastrous course that Hungary has through them embarked upon.
    Worsening Clouds are GATHERING.
