“Naturally, after ‘progressive taxation,’ they have a Brussels term for this as well: ‘degression,’” the Prime Minister wrote, adding that in their opinion, the Hungarian pension system is ‘overly generous.’
Mr Orbán observed that they also had to fulfil their Brussels masters’ expectations. The money can go to Ukraine, and in return, the shoulders of Tisza deputies will be patted in the Brussels salons.
“Fifteen years ago, we concluded an agreement with pensioners. We gave back the thirteenth monthly pension. We agreed to guarantee that the value of pensions cannot decrease, and that if the engine of the economy pulls well, then pensioners, too, must be given a share of that good performance. And this will remain so,” the Prime Minister laid down in his post.
“We did not create a pension system for the Brusselites, but for the benefit of the Hungarian elderly. We believe that this is how it’s fair. And we’re working hard on the fourteenth monthly pension,” Mr Orbán wrote, concluding his post: “Meanwhile, Tisza can go to the Brussels salons with their degression.”
