After the Orbán government banned local governments from raising taxes and maxed out the business tax rate to 1 percent (that is, cut it in half in most places), local governments (especially those that didn’t were led by Fidesz) immediately raised the alarm that they would hardly have the money to pay. to maintain the level of public services.
Although the cabinet promised compensation for settlements of less than 25,000 people, the money would only be reopened to the largest based on an individual decision, and this category includes districts that won opposition last year and the capital itself. However, his protest was called by government officials an unnecessary and even downright hysterical lament.
If you already think there should be a rebellion, you could also think about it in the mayor’s office, where their first alert campaign was held the day before Christmas Eve, when the decorative lights that covered the iconic monuments of Budapest, among others, were turned off. stuff. But obviously this is less meaty for the population, especially if in the dark curfew hours pass between the four walls anyway.
Pulzus Kutató’s representative research has now mapped out where Hungarians use the municipal belt the most. According to a survey commissioned by Napi.hu, the absolute losers are the civil sphere, the art scene and the churches would. The majority of respondents would withdraw their support.
According to the respondents, depending on the size of the settlement,
- 52-68 percent in civilians, churches and the art world;
- 24 to 30 percent in aid;
- 12 to 19 percent for garbage collection and cleaning;
- From 7 to 17 percent in home help;
- 4 to 13 percent in nurseries and kindergartens;
- And 3 to 10 percent in specialized clinics
would save.
The biggest difference in terms of place of residence can be seen in the trio of cultural-civil churches: here just over half of the capital’s population would run out of money, while in the case of those who live in other types of settlements this proportion exceeds two thirds. Unsurprisingly, health care would be the least affected by the additional deductions, although the difference is also pregnant here: a tenth of Budapest residents and just 3 percent of those living in the villages would tend to bleed the clinics.
The researchers compared the opinions of women and men separately. Here, the difference is most evident in the fact that the latter, with almost equal rates of home help, would have a higher withdrawal rate in all areas.
The most surprising is the assessment of the need for help: the response of women to a 23% austerity rate was exaggerated by almost 10% by men.
The breakdown by age also shows striking differences: Interestingly, people over 60 would save a larger proportion in clinics and a quarter would not be bothered if they covered their eyes.
The dividing line between graduates and those with a lower education is also clear: in almost all areas, primary school graduates are more likely to drop out of school and tertiary education graduates less, although they are 28 and 29 percent head-on and less than those with secondary education voted for this category (22 percent).
In early December, the IDEA Institute decided on the collection of business tax and bleeding from local governments. he also asked people for their opinions. The poll revealed that not even a quarter of Fidesz voters agree with the measures, although it is rare that the field is not united behind the party.
