The Hungarian Parliament has endorsed sweeping changes to the workings of the government and voted to cut lawmakers’ salaries and eliminate a number of benefits for government officials.
The initiative aims to reduce budget expenditures and boost public confidence in the government. This is reported in an article by Daily News Hungary.
Following the vote, the base salary of members of parliament will be reduced by 40% starting next month. Now, lawmakers will receive approximately 3,690 euros before taxes.
The reform will also affect the country’s leadership: the prime minister, the speaker of parliament, and the chairs of relevant committees.
In addition to the pay cuts, officials have lost their mobile phone allowances, and payments for office rent, housing, and staff expenses have been significantly reduced.
It is noteworthy that the bill received broad support among lawmakers. It is expected that this decision will reduce budget expenditures and allow the savings to be redirected toward other government needs.
