Fidesz’s 2026 budget based on ‘economic stability, social well-being and confidence in the future’

Fidesz’s 2026 budget bill has been drawn up “in the name of economic stability, social well-being and confidence in the future”, Erik Bánki, a spokesman for the party, said in the general debate on the budget in parliament on Wednesday.

According to MTI, Bánki said the budget was aimed at “ensuring an opportunity for everybody to prosper while maintaining fiscal discipline”.

Bánki said the “greatest question for 2026” would be “whether or not the money of Hungarians is sent to Ukraine”.

“The Brussels bureaucracy and the majority of the European Parliament are ready to make European countries arm Ukraine and give the country financial support,” he said.

Next year’s budget, however, “aims to spend Hungary’s resources on Hungarian families rather than on Ukraine”, Bánki said, calling the bill an “anti-war budget that puts Hungarian families first.”
