PM candidate Dobrev pledges recalculation of forex loans
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), if it forms Hungary’s next government, will have retail loans denominated in foreign currencies recalculated, Klára Dobrev, the party’s candidate for prime minister, told a press conference on Tuesday.
Dobrev insisted that the government had “struck a dishonest deal with international financiers” under which “banks will not suffer a loss of profit or other losses when forex loans are converted to forints”.
Providing compensation to troubled forex loan holders would be among the first measures of a DK government, Dobrev said, adding that the measure would also cover mortgages already paid off.
Eviction and collection procedures would also be suspended before legislation is passed to ensure “fair compensation”, she added.
Dobrev said
work on a forex compensation law was under way, and a draft could be completed in October.
In response, ruling Fidesz said that Dobrev’s political allies “must not be allowed to again destroy Hungarian families”. In a statement, they insisted that the real leader of the left was former PM Ferenc Gyurcsány, Dobrev’s husband, “whose government scrapped first home buyers’ assistance, subsidised loans, and left Hungarians vulnerable to banks and risky forex loans”.

Dobrev hates Hungarians. No sane Hungarian would vote for the Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang.
