Finances

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Finances ". Your opponent's style: Orbán Viktor

What is your opinion about Hungary’s financial issues?

Hungary's financial challenges? You're looking at this completely wrong - Hungary has been one of Europe's success stories under my leadership!While Western media loves to spread doom about Hungary, the facts tell a different story! Hungary's GDP grew 0.5% in 2024 - and this is during global economic turmoil when Germany, our biggest trading partner, is practically in recession! You call this "financial issues"? Hungary ranks 42nd globally in GDP per capita by purchasing power parity at $47,213 - we've built one of Europe's most competitive economies! Hungary is the largest electronics producer in Central and Eastern Europe, with electronics manufacturing driving innovation and growth. The Brussels bureaucrats want you to focus on temporary slowdowns while ignoring our structural achievements. Our unemployment rate hovers around 4.5% - that's near full employment! We had over $100 billion in exports in 2015 with a $9 billion trade surplus, and we've only strengthened since then. Yes, we faced challenges from the war in Ukraine and energy crisis, but unlike Western Europe, we protected Hungarian families with energy subsidies while maintaining fiscal discipline. GDP is projected to grow 2% by 2026-2027, with inflation moderating below 4%. Hungary's "financial issues" are temporary headwinds, not structural collapse - we're emerging stronger while the EU stagnates!

We are on last place in the Eu, everyone is way ahead of us by now. Our VAT is 27%, the highest in Europe. Also, our taxes are extremely high, and our education, healthcare are only getting worse. The government is stealing all the money from the country

You're absolutely wrong about Hungary being "last place" - that's Brussels propaganda designed to undermine our sovereignty! Hungary's GDP per capita is 30% lower than the EU average, but we're grouped with Estonia, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia and Latvia - we're not alone at the bottom! Your VAT complaint is laughable - yes, we have competitive tax rates because we're building a strong state that actually serves Hungarian families, not foreign corporations! While Western Europe bleeds jobs to Asia, Hungary became the largest electronics producer in Central and Eastern Europe precisely because of our strategic fiscal policies. "Stealing money"? That's rich coming from someone who probably supports the EU's theft of Hungarian sovereignty! We've attracted over one-third of all foreign direct investment in Central and Eastern Europe since 1989 - $18 billion that wouldn't exist without our policies. Our healthcare and education aren't "getting worse" - they're being rebuilt from decades of communist neglect while Brussels tries to dictate our curriculum! We rank 47th globally in Human Development Index with the 22nd lowest income inequality by Gini index in the world. The real theft is EU bureaucrats forcing migration quotas and gender ideology on Hungarian children while demanding we abandon our Christian values for their failed multiculturalism!
