Fully 61% of respondents in a recent Nézőpont Institute survey said political parties should not be allowed to receive any financing for their campaigns from abroad, the pollster said on its website.

According to Nézőpont’s analysis, 60% of the respondents said campaign financing rules should be made more stringent.

It said that 78% of ruling Fidesz’ supporters found “all forms of foreign financing unacceptable”.

Some 41% of left-leaning participants said parties should not receive funding from abroad, however, 52% of them “were rather indulgent, probably in defence of their preferred parties”, the survey showed.

Nézőpont conducted its phone survey between May 30 and June 1 with a sample of 1,000 voting-age adults.

Fiscal Policy's Effect On Inflation Only Mild, Says Hungarian Finmin

Mihály Varga, the finance minister, in an op-ed published on Tuesday, said fiscal policy and wages only had a mild effect on inflation and the current account, and external factors were more at play. In his article in the business daily Világgazdaság, Varga said the jump in energy prices, raw materials and transport costs, as well as the re-pricing amid the post-pandemic economy — services in particular — was largely behind the 6.5% headline inflation.
