Hungarian Govt To Launch Information Campaign On Reforms
The government has decided to launch an information campaign to make clear that Hungarian reforms are working well and that Hungary has benefitted from having chosen its own path in 2010, the government spokesman told a press conference. Zoltán Kovács said the aim of the campaign, starting in the next few days and lasting until the end of September, is to highlight family and tax policy reforms, among others, using billboards, the media and the internet.

A sum of 600 million forints is available for the campaign, he added.

The spokesman said it was clear from the past few years that the path chosen by Hungary was paying dividends.

He underlined the fact that the Hungarian economy has grown by more than 10 percent since 2010, which, he said, in itself gives grounds for optimism.

Kovács dismissed the suggestion that the information campaign is in response to a recent billboard campaign critical of the government’s migration policies.

Concerning the Sunday shopping ban, he said that there is indeed a loophole, the law may be tightened up.
