According to the ministry’s survey, 54% of the respondents were against retailers closing on Sundays, almost 38% said they shopped on Sunday and 18.5% said they used their Sunday shopping trips to stock up for the week.
Approximately 75% said their Sunday shopping trips were not tied to any other entertainment or leisure activities, MTI reports. The ministry noted that almost 75% of respondents who were against closing stores on Sundays had incomes that put them over the poverty line.
“Should a referendum be held on the Sunday closure law, Fidesz would lose” Lázár reputedly told a private meeting this weekend commenting on the recently approved bill restricting retailers from remaining open on Sundays.
