Threat? PM Orbán: “We’ll win the next election no matter what the opposition does”

“Reality is on the government’s side”, and the ruling parties “will win the next election no matter what the opposition does,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on the opening day of parliament on Monday.

In his reply to the opposition “trying the describe the economy using all kinds of macro data”, the prime minister said: “These are important and meaningful discussions, but the real performance of the economy is reflected in what you see in real life.”

“What you see in real life is that every young person can take out a loan at 3 percent and can own their home, while families with two or three children will have their tax benefits doubled and families receive GYED or CSED benefits tax free,” Orbán said. He also noted support for the elderly and mothers who are exempted from the personal income tax, benefitting one million Hungarian women.
