Bajnai marks six months as PM, lauds “quick results”

By Hungary Around the Clock

“I must admit, I had not expected such speedy progress and such quick results,” Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai said in a statement on Friday to mark the sixth month of his cabinet.

Warning that the financial crisis is not yet over, Bajnai said he considers it his top priority to see Parliament pass next year’s draft budget.

Socialist and Free Democrat MPs elected Bajnai prime minister on April 14 after Ferenc Gyurcsány resigned.

Fidesz spokesman Péter Szíjjártó called Bajnai’s six months a direct continuation of Gyurcsány’s policies, marked by unnecessary austerity measures, with unemployment expected to exceed 10% of the workforce, and tens of thousands of people losing their jobs.
