The Tisza Party launched a nationwide leaflets campaign on the weekend, setting forth its tax reduction plans in response to a Fidesz campaign accusing Tisza of planning to raise taxes. Fidesz will send four million leaflets carrying this message to Hungarian households, twice as many as the two million copies of the Tisza publication. Magyar said that they will reach all Hungarian settlements with “the truth” before October 23. Fidesz caucus leader Máté Kocsis announced on Saturday that by October 1 four million leaflets will be sent out about the Tisza Party’s “tax-raising plans”. These will be relayed to all mailboxes with the help of 10,000 volunteers, he added.
