Less taxes for the less fortunate, leaving Russian energy: Tisza Party reveals policy programme

Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party has presented a comprehensive policy programme outlining its vision for what it calls a “functional and humane Hungary”, pledging institutional reform, economic renewal and a decisive break with what it describes as years of political stagnation and state capture.

Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party revealed their programme

The 240-page document, published on the party’s website following months of preparation, was compiled with the involvement of more than a thousand experts working across sixty specialist groups. According to party leaders, the programme is intended as a governing blueprint rather than a campaign manifesto, addressing structural problems across the economy, public services and the rule of law.

In its introductory chapter, the Tisza Party argues that a future government must focus “from the first moment” on restoring healthcare, education, social services, child protection and public transport, while securing frozen EU funds and restarting economic growth. As 444 writes, the document also commits to rebuilding the rule of law, recovering misappropriated public assets and ensuring that political power no longer shields wrongdoing.

Could Orbán lose the 2026 election over Minister Lázár’s ‘toilet-cleaning gypsies’ remark? Alarmingly stark poll data emerges.

Four pillars of reform

The programme is structured around four broad pillars, writes 24.hu. The first, “A prosperous and successful country”, centres on economic development and growth. At its core is the Ganz Ábrahám Economic Development Programme, which would prioritise small and medium-sized enterprises, reduce VAT, and introduce a more progressive tax system. The party proposes lower taxes for workers and greater responsibility for the wealthiest earners, alongside cuts to what it sees as distortionary subsidies for large multinationals.

The second pillar, “A peaceful and orderly country”, focuses on security and stability. Tisza Party maintains a firm stance against illegal migration, pledging to keep the southern border fence and strengthen border protection. Demographic decline is also addressed, with the stated goal of halting population loss by 2035 and returning Hungary’s population above ten million by mid-century. The programme also revisits local government autonomy, arguing for stronger municipalities and decentralised decision-making.

Under the third pillar, titled “A free and happy country”, the emphasis shifts to social welfare and quality of life. The Tisza Party promises targeted pension increases, immediate income-support measures for retirees, and the preservation of the 13th and 14th month pensions. A flagship “100% Family” initiative aims to break cycles of poverty through coordinated social policy, while specific measures target Roma inclusion and equal access to education.

The fourth pillar, “A clean and forward-looking country”, addresses sustainability and long-term resilience. Proposals include modernising digital public services, supporting SME digitalisation, increasing transparency of state-held data, and harnessing artificial intelligence in public administration. Environmental protection, climate policy and green investment feature prominently throughout this section.

  1. ‘Less taxes for the less fortunate, leaving Russian energy: Tisza Party reveals policy programme.’

    Herein one immediately sees the inability of The Modern Left to think, and, because they cannot think, they assume no one else can think.

    Case in point?

    This ridiculous policy which, on the one hand, purports to ease the burdens on the less fortunate, all the while adopting an energy policy which not only offset those easings of cost, it will exceed them.

    As impressed as I was by Magyar Peter’s very effective barnstorming across Hungary, in the Summer of 2024, I knew he was a naive ninny by how he would talk of the war in the Ukraine.

    That he is advancing this policy is yet more confirmation that he is a naive ninny, just as are his very publically-trumpeted appointments of Orbán Anita and Kapitány István, just as are his inability to talk to Rural and Smalltown Hungarians.

    His candidacy, once a very serious threat, has dissolved into Bruxelles-parroting silliness.

    It’s almost as if Manfred Weber is running for prime minister in Hungary.

    Manfred Weber is not going to be prime minister of Hungary – of that I am sure.

    • Those “modern leftists”  – whoever the are – sure sound horrible, if they are as you described them. Luckily, we will most likely have a center-right Tisza party as the majority winner at next elections and not “modern leftist”.

      • Thank you, Dear Ostanus, for your reply.

        6 months ago I would have agreed with you that the likely outcome would have been an International Corporate Tisza Party victory, but, as things stand, it has become very improbable.

        Yes, Modern Leftism is ‘horrible’, for a long list of reasons, most important of which is that it advocates as the only way to advance the welfare of a nation is to support those candidates who, funded by the bankers and international corporations, and the large bureaucracies they own, will give their blessing to organizing a bullet-less invasion of their own country.

        So, yes, defeating Modern Leftism is a matter of life and death.

    • @mouton is not some American redneck. He is running a script from the Russian playbook called “active measures”. Look it up. In summary: seeding doubt, inflaming division, pose as someone you’re not to manufacture the appearance of grassroots support for Orbán’s Kremlin-friendly agenda.

      The tell? Real people have messy, inconsistent opinions. They post about their lives, their interests, their local concerns. @mouton posts like he is clocking in for a shift.

      To everyone else: this is what information warfare looks like. Don’t engage, don’t amplify, just flag and move on.

      • I caught Mouton pretending to be from the US south while making a post about the “Hatfields and the McKoys”. No American would misspell McCoys like that. As a supposed American he also displays rare knowledge of Russian culture. Never trust anything posted by someone who deceives you on their identity.

        • Oh no, some one typing on the phone made a typo. And ‘Mericans are so perfect in grammar, that proves he is not from the USA.
          Do you realize, how pathetic your arguments got?

          Grasping at straws don’t even begin to describe you.

          • @ Márk – along with @michaelsteiner I appreciate your posts. Why? Your opinions are not prevalent in my echo chambers, and if anything, you are genuine. Maybe try a little less “ad hominem” – but hey. Authentic.

            Contrast with @mouton – who posts like he is clocking in for a shift. Making some quota.

            That bothers me. And the narrative? He pretends to be American (inauthentic – because he is definitely not), concerned with Hungary, however his posts invariably are geared to amplify division / polarize and erode trust.

        • Comment ops don’t need to “win” on facts. They aim to:

          1. set the emotional tone early,
          2. create the impression of widespread belief,
          3. bait opponents into long rebuttals,
          4. derail threads away from the article and into identity war.

          Noticing an @mouton pattern? I’ve been feeding his comments into a system… Initial assessment – let’s just say that news organizations may want to start doing the same.

  2. XDXDXDXDXDXD
    Oh my… “A free and happy country” XDXDXD
    As if the government would make people happy. XDXDXDXD
    Ok, I try to get myself together…. XDXDXDXD I can’t. XDXDXDXD

    Huh.. I mean, I read the same in the Dogs’ program. The difference is, that they are an openly sarcastic troll party, who pormises “everything good”, “infinite free beer”, and “immortality”.

    Now we know, why the Dogs’ won’t run. The Tisza stole the “autist”/”troll” votes.
    XDXDXDXD

  3. Sure sounds great.  Extensive funding would be needed but with the EU money back on the table and less money lost on propaganda and corruption, its possible.

    I especially like the healthcare and education investments. Long due those. 

    Fidesz and their aggressive supporters certainly have made Hungarian people unhappy and increased tensions. Worst of all is the fact that suicide rates are up in Hungary, as reported just a day ago. 
    https://dailynewshungary.com/hungary-mental-health-suicide-every-six-hours/
    Mental issues are rampant in Hungary, thanks to far-right conservative politics than condemns anyone who deviates from the Fidesz-defined norms.

    I sure hope the center-right Tisza can steer Hungary back to providing a more happier and prosperous life for all Hungarians, LGBTQ and Roma and all other minorities included that Fidesz has been disparaging and even persecuting. 

    • XD
      You really trust the guy that betrayed his wife for money with your money?
      XDXDXDXDXDXD
      Sure, of course. He will sell his own car for you to be happy.
      XDXDXD

      How in the world don’t you understand, that this is a lie?

      • No, I do not see lies in Tisza plans. But I do have spotted lies numerous times on your propaganda comments, and this time is no exception.
        “…betrayed his wife… “
        Nope, Peter Magyar did not betray his wife.

  4. “securing frozen EU funds”

    The only way they can do that is to accept the tens of thousands of third-world illegal alien trash, which Hungary has shrewdly and studiously been keeping OUT.

    That and that alone is enough for me to not ever vote for these globalist-socialist-fascist puppets.

    P.S. Reducing taxes for the “less fortunate” means increasing taxes for those of us who have worked hard and still do and made better choices in life. No, thanks. Punishing success never, ever leads to more success. It only reduces the success there already is.

      • While I disagree with most of what Steiner posts I think he truly believes in what he says and that is his worldview. As for Mouton he is simply a bad actor and 99% likely Russian and Norbert is pointing this out as I have as well for some time.

      • Again – I appreciate @Márk – along with @michaelsteiner – their opinions are not prevalent in my echo chambers. I thank them for their contribution – however much I may disagree – they are undeniably authentic.

        Thought: Let’s try not to go ad hominem? It’s what the likes of @mouton are trying to achieve. Polarization. Us versus “them” or vice versa.

        With @márk and @michaelsteiner, remember we all care and engage (otherwise we wouldn’t bother, would we?).

  5. Tisza promises a progressive tax rate which is what virtually every civilized country has. The more you make the higher your percentage. Fidesz created a flat tax system for personal income so that the eilte does not have to pay much tax. Oh and a promised lifetime exemption for all income tax for all mothers with at least two children which means Rahel Orban pays no income tax. Does anyone in their right mind think that these ultra-wealthy women should pay no income tax for life while the lowest paid worker has to pay income tax? Get these parasites out of government.

  6. Vat at 27% – highest in the European Union then “other” taxational structures of Policy under Victor Mihaly. Orban principally introduced by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his “dud” of a Finance Minister – Mihaly Varga who we know “shuffled off” – being of no respect nor trust in the European Union through his economic and financial incompetencies – to now sit as the Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary – Laughable.
    Hungary – is NOT a low taxed to its population and from an Investors country.
    Double Dippers – that just to focus on the 27% vat level – who “creams” or takes the FAT off the 27% ???
    Victor Mihaly. Orban – his Fidesz Government – the WORSENING picture of the DEBT of the Fidesz Government, the individual tax debt on the population of Hungary.
    Government debt – the Orban/Varga “created” Debt – the OVER borrowings at HIGH level of interest charges, is DEBT of its Population individual debt.
    Hungary – an “ageing” decreasing population below 9.5 million, with 1.2 million living in Poverty – if Orban / Fidesz had not in place the “scam” of 27% vat – the worse than what is presently a cataclysmic disastrous position of the Hungarian economy “designed” by Orban and Mihaly Varga.
    It would be PERILOUS.
    Over the course in time of (16) sixteen years – the Double Dipping taxational process – what DIRECTED by Victor Mihaly. Orban and NEVER forgetting the name – Mihaly Varga – what of the vat “fat” has been used INVESTING into the FUTURE of Hungary ???
    Percentage wise over (16) sixteen years SFA – statistically percentage wise – NOTHING.
    “Robbery Under Arms” – power of Orban and his Fidesz “bandits” – stealing, cheating, not of truth, fabricators of truth & facts, propaganda, lawbreakers – that Spring of 2026 rapidly approaching – for the FUTURE of Hungary – must HAPPEN – the “in-glorious dismissal – the outing DOWNFALL of the Victor Mihaly. Orban led “toxic in culture” Fidesz Government.

  7. Pillar One – by taxing the wealthiest and most successful you will drive innovators and investors out of the country into eager arms of nations unwilling to punish those who strive to succeed. This will reduce investment in the nation and lead to job losses and economic downturn but that is okay, look how wonderful Germany is doing.
    Pillar Two – to halt population loss and prevent illegal immigration, all immigration will be considered legal. The Magyar population will suffer much like the rest of western Europe under an invasion of unending muslimization and africanization. But hey the population loss will be halted, even though Magyarorszag will no longer be Magyarorszag.
    Pillar Three – Will see the elevation of the poorest and uneducated. It will be a celebration of degeneracy, incompetance and the destruction of the family unit. Pillar three outlines how to buy votes from the poorest to ensure a long and destructive campaign at the behest of the progressive liberalism that is destroying not only the EU but Canada and Australia.
    Pillar Four – The green energy scam. Spend billions on useless windmills and solar power. When this fails abandon cheap Russian energy to spend 10x the amount on Russian energy provided by India.

    These four pillars will be used to build a cage to trap the Magyar people so they can be removed from the annals of history like shooting fish in a barrel.
