Police, soldiers to receive 10 pc pay hike in Hungary
The government has decided to raise the wages of soldiers and police officers by 10 percent, the prime minister said in a video published on Facebook on Monday.
Viktor Orbán made his announcement after meeting police and military leaders. He said that “the government will also express its appreciation by providing a bonus of six months’ pay to policemen and soldiers in the next year”.
“We will make further, significant pay rises in the next months and years to retain our police and soldiers,”
the prime minister said in the video, thanking law enforcement staff for their “fantastic work in 2021”. He said that the country could not have protected itself in the coronavirus pandemic without those efforts.
Orbán highlighted the work of police and soldiers in hospitals, but also mentioned that they had prevented some 100,000 illegal migrants from crossing Hungary’s borders.

Are we going to have any money left I wonder. Those election bribes just keep on coming.
It is the right thing to do.
More Election Bribes
I wish we could afford to pay them more.
Unlike in the decadent West, we value the work of our soldiers and police officers. We don’t murder them like they do in the decadent West. They keep us safe from the internal and external threats to our safety.
Thank you for your service.
Lovely comment MAGYARORSZÁG A MAGYAROKÉ. Now back you go up into the rear of Fidesz, just enough so we can barely see the soles of your feet. You’ll be sliding out again very soon to post more of your absurdities.
The same in Poland – more money for the uniformed ones while teachers and medical personnel are still underpaid. Shame!

What, you think the rantings of a lunatic hurt our feelings!? Sorry, can hardly write for laughing, again! Your arrogance is breathtaking. The only thing we ask is please don’t stop!
