- Fidesz party representative Szalai Piroska disputes claims made by the Tisza party regarding pension increases.
- Piroska asserts that Hungarian governments since 2010 have consistently increased pensions annually to match inflation, preserving purchasing power.
- She highlights that all eligible recipients receive a 13th-month pension, and a 14th-month pension payment has begun this year.
Szalai Piroska, a parliamentary representative for the Fidesz party, has strongly refuted claims suggesting that pension measures announced by the Tisza party would impact hundreds of thousands of citizens. Piroska stated that the Orbán governments have upheld a commitment to preserving the purchasing power of pensions since 2010.
According to Piroska, every year since 2010, pensions and pension-like benefits have been increased by at least the rate of inflation affecting the pensioner's basket of goods. This consistent adjustment, she argues, ensures that the real value of pensions is maintained.
Furthermore, Piroska pointed out that for several years, all eligible individuals have received a 13th-month pension in February. This year, she added, the disbursement of a 14th-month pension has also commenced, indicating further financial support for pensioners.
