Orbán’s challenger Magyar: Fidesz has cheated the Hungarian people
Leader of the opposition Tisza Party Péter Magyar on Tuesday accused ruling Fidesz of having “cheated” Hungarians by “preaching” about a rural, family and child-friendly, bourgeois Hungary while making the country “the poorest and most corrupt country in the European Union”.
“Enough is enough!” Magyar said in a statement. “The story of 1956 is now our story!” He insisted that Hungarians were a freedom-loving people who wanted a patriotic government, but they did not want 3,000,000 compatriots “living below subsistence level”.
Under a Tisza Party government, maternity hospitals in rural areas would not be shut down but renovated, while public health care and education would be developed rather than run-down, the statement said.
Among the policies he promised were lower VAT, higher family benefits and pensions, channelling EU funds into family farms, and anti-corruption measures.
