Hungary’s Opposition “Lies” Justify Govt Information Campaign
- 10 Jul 2015 9:00 AM
Both the domestic and the international environment justify the government’s information campaign on the success of Hungary’s reforms, the government spokesman told public television M1. Zoltán Kovács suggested that the planned campaign was designed to counterbalance “sheer lies” by the opposition parties painting a dismal image of the country as “a terrible place where life is painful”.
In addition, in light of the “Greek drama” the government needs to stress “where Hungary started from and how far it has progressed,” he said.
Among the government’s achievements, Kovács mentioned measures to help troubled forex debtors while staying within the boundaries of international norms and managing to “return some 1,000 billion forints (EUR 3.1bn) to Hungarians.”
Further, the flat tax regime has left several hundred billion forints with taxpayers, he said.
The campaign will focus on these achievements and the message that “the reforms are working, and the country has the potential to allow everyone to take a step forward,” Kovács added.
