  • Commenters criticized Magyar Péter’s Tisza party over its communication concerning the return of European Union funds.
  • Some raised concerns about pensions and a proposal that would double a payment with no previous upper limit.
  • Others accused the party of making unfulfilled promises and said the measures would benefit only profiteers.

Commenters reacted angrily to the Tisza party’s messaging about bringing European Union funds back to Hungary. Their responses focused not only on the policy itself, but also on what they said were its possible effects on pensions and benefits.

One commenter questioned what would happen to pensions. Another objected to the government doubling a payment that, in the commenter’s view, had never had an upper limit.

Ildikó attacked what she described as a continuing stream of broken promises: “Don’t they have any shame? Are they continuing the promise avalanche? They made 1,200 promises in April, but nothing has been delivered… now they are adding to it. An incredibly pathetic bunch.”

Dénes argued that the policy would move Hungary from a work-based society toward one based on benefits. Lajos took a different complaint, saying that only profiteers would gain from the measure. The publication presented the episode as another case in which the Tisza government’s communication had backfired.

Don’t they have any shame? Are they continuing the promise avalanche? They made 1,200 promises in April, but nothing has been delivered… now they are adding to it. An incredibly pathetic bunch.
