Over 1 million ‘National Consultation’ surveys completed

More than one million people have filled out the government’s “National Consultation” survey on the novel coronavirus pandemic’s effect on health care, the economy and international issues, a government official said on Tuesday.

The survey gauges people’s opinions on issues such as raising manufacturing capacity in Hungary, setting up a permanent epidemiological alert system and the taxation of banks and multinational companies, Csaba Dömötör, a state secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office, said.

So far, 1.96 million people have filled out the questionnaire, which shows that all Hungarian families are invested in the issues raised and in voicing their opinion, he added.

Citizens are also asked to give their opinions on restrictive measures, Dömötör said, arguing that the most effective restrictions were the ones that had broad support.
