The recently announced freeze on new hires in Hungary’s state administration is only the first step to a smaller and more frugal state, liberal Free Democrats group leader Janos Koka said on Wednesday.
The government spokesman announced on Tuesday that Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai had ordered a freeze on new hires, including vacancies resulting from resignations or retirement.
Koka said a 2006 study showed that rationalisation in the administration of state and local councils could save up to 400 billion forints.
As long as there are 41 public employees in Hungary per every 100 private sector employee, the country will not be competitive: in Slovakia this ratio is 29 and in Romania it is 23, Koka said.
The Free Democrats expect the government to reduce the number of public administration jobs and submit a budget to parliament that reflects this with less spending on public administration, Koka added.
Interesting, he hasn’t counted himself into one having been doing the same thing for the past 8 years even when his claim has ample merit.
He and his party cronies should be the last making this claim while enriching themselves with stolen public money. His rat profile only augments the sincerity he’s trying to display before the roof finally caves in on his jewish ilk.
