ハンガリーの反緊縮財政

ハンガリーのオルバーン首相が長期政権を続けている一因には、経済運営の巧みさがある。これ（⇩）には日本の反緊縮派も強く同意するだろう。

PM Orbán: We are at the gate of great times, 2021 could already be a “fantastic year” even if its first months still seem “miserable” due to the restrictions in placehttps://t.co/PCmY4P6goQ pic.twitter.com/vx9KPqZZcr

PM Orbán said that unlike the political left, he did not believe in raising taxes during an economic crisis period. Governments and local councils should cut taxes in a time of crisis and banks, too, should get involved by extending the moratorium on loan repayments, Orbán said. He said not all local councils understood the importance of cutting taxes, but added that businesses would only be capable of hiring more people if their public burdens are reduced. Businesses should be put in a position in which they can hire as many people as possible, the prime minister said.
