Sándor Burány, Socialist head of parliament’s budget committee, told Hungarian news agency MTI that “the government prefers a weak forint, which increases the burden on families by tens of thousands a month”.
Hungarians are in instant need of strengthening measures on the national currency rather than a facelift to banknotes, he added. The Socialists also called for MNB Governor György Matolcsy’s resignation, as he is “not suitable for his position.”
