Fidesz will revoke the 2010 budget if it gains power next year, party leader Viktor Orbán told HírTV Friday evening. Calling the budget the most dangerous of the past 20 years, Orbán said it will endanger hundreds of thousands of Hungarian families.
The budget submitted to Parliament will delay national renewal by six months, so the date of elections is not irrelevant, he said.
A Fidesz government would create one million jobs in ten years, Orbán added, a promise also made by Fidesz caucus leader Tibor Navracsics in an interview with Magyar Hírlap on Friday. If Fidesz wins the next elections, the new cabinet, unlike the Socialist Party, will want to devote all resources towards economic growth by focusing on SMEs, said Navracsics.
It was unfortunate for Orbán to scare others by saying that his party will revoke the budget, government spokesman Domokos Szollár said in response.
A Socialist spokesman called Orbán’s statement a danger to economic stability.
On Thursday Navracsics held talks in Stockholm with the state secretary and European affairs committee chairman of the Swedish Prime Minister’s Office. Sweden holds the rotating EU presidency now and Hungary will do so in 2011.
