Survey: Majority of Hungarians back government plan to raise average wage to EUR 2450
74 percent of respondents in a recent survey reacted positively to government plans to gradually increase the average gross wage to HUF 1 million (EUR 2,450), pollster Real-PR 93 told MTI on Wednesday.
Fully 19 percent, however, expressed a negative view concerning the government plans, the pollster said.
Among decided voters, 83 percent of ruling Fidesz supporters, 61 percent of people affiliated with the opposition Tisza Party, 64 percent of those supporting the leftist Democratic Coalition and 74 percent of radical Mi Hazánk expressed support for the planned pay rise.
Real-PR 93 conducted its phone survey between Oct 28 and 30 with a sample of 1,000 adults.

This was another insanely ridiculous government survey for propaganda use. If I asked you if you would like a raise to your pay would you say NO? The larger question is what magic wand does this idiot government have that it can wave to make businesses raise the amounts they pay their workers no matter what their profit margins are. It is the decision of the employer and not government on how much they pay and that is dependent on labour market conditions. Hungary has become some kind of juvenile economic fantasy land run by a collection of clowns

“A phone survey”
So someone calls you and asks if its a good plan to raise workers´ salaries?
Since majority of us are workers and not business owners/employers, of course you get the result that raising salaries is a good plan according to the majority.
These Fidesz surveys and consultations are just sad jokes, and we as taxpayers have to pay for them.
Nice one for HIPA to explain to potential investors from overseas … Low wages is one of the attractions of Hungary, unfortunately. And be careful with what you wish for, because if there is “Peace!” in Ukraine, you will find investing there will be a good value, and wages low. Competition on your doorstep. Along with Romania, and the Balkans (our Politicians are so eager for them to join).
