The main opposition Fidesz party’s policies have become an “element of risk” in Hungary’s international assessment, head of the governing Socialist party Ildiko Lendvai said in a statement on Tuesday.
Lendvai referred to credit rating institute Standard and Poor’s, stating that it had sent out a “clear message” when it said that Hungary’s rating would not be improved because the opposition’s behaviour represented too much of a risk.
Fidesz leader Viktor Orban recently told the press that he was planning to let the budget loose and give a push to state spending, Lendvai said.
Every day, Fidesz threatens to withdraw the government’s crisis management measures if it comes to power, Lendvai added.
Lendvai called on Fidesz’s business experts to explain the chairman that “his irresponsible statements represent a threat to the Hungarian economy.”
