>>/51280/ I got mine. 11 "questions". None of them is a question, they are all statements. They elaborate on each (don't expect listing facts to back up claims), and they offer two prepared answers, they ain't simple "yes or no". Here's an English translation of the infamous "National Consultation", as close as I cared to keep it to the original. I did not twist anything (besides that one meme in the last point), although some expressions might be more straight to the point or softer than what they wrote. My comments are in spoilers. The title is: About the Defence of our Sovereignty. 1. Brussels wants to abolish utility support. The European Council wants to force us to abolish utility support. In their communiqué they write "the energetic support measures have to be outphased gradually." They want to abolish a measure that lowers the utility expenditure of Hungarian families by 181 000 HUF (~520 USD) on average per month. "Utility support" caps the price consumers have to pay for utilities. Gas and electricity basically. It does help a lot for many. On the other hand, the difference is payed from tax money, so even if we don't pay, we pay. If it was abolished, people would suck the cock twice, unless they lowered taxes. And we have low-ish income and very high VAT, consumption tax, which means a huge chunk of the price is tax. They do a cute little stab with that number, to drive home the point. a. The utility support should be uphold further on. b. There is no need for energy price regulation on the market anymore. I think there is more to it I'm not aware of. The issue might be about more things than just the "utility support" which might be one part of it. Should see the "fine print" of both of all our regulations related to energy, and the said communiqué of Brussels.
