Majority of Hungarians Reject the Tisza Package

Recently leaked information reveals that if it came to power, the Tisza Party would introduce severe austerity measures. The party would raise personal income taxes (SZJA), abolish tax allowances, and ban Russian energy imports. Hungarians overwhelmingly reject every element of the Tisza package, according to a survey by Szazadveg.

Two-Thirds of Hungarians Oppose the Tisza Package

A majority of Hungary's adult population holds a negative view of every examined element of the Tisza package. Seven out of ten respondents oppose the party’s three-bracket income tax plan and the abolition of family tax benefits. The phasing out of allowances for mothers and young people is opposed by 68% and 65% of Hungarians, respectively. Opposition to banning Russian energy imports also reaches two-thirds.

The results confirm Zoltan Tarr’s fear: 

the elements of the Tisza package are indeed extremely unpopular.

However, the party’s approach of keeping the details of its program hidden and, in some cases, deliberately misleading voters is unacceptable, as the economic and social damage caused by the Tisza Party would have to be endured even by those who were deceived.
