[fse-esf] Demonstration in Hungary against the New Balance policy

[Simó Endre]

    Organised by the six Trade Union Confederations of Hungary a 
demonstration against the „New Balance” neoliberal policy of the 
socialist-free democrate ruling coalition will take place in Budapest on 
Saturday June 8, with the participation of civic organisations and 
leftwing political forces. The aim of the demonstration is to impede the 
social restrictions demanded by the EU Central Bank in the name of the 
stabilisation of the state budget by the way of increasing consumption 
prices and new tax burdens on Workers, unemployees, little and 
medium size enterpreneurs at the benefit of the big corporations. 
Negotiations of the Trade Unions with the Government have resulted 
unseccesful, having the government withdrawn also agreements 
already taken with trade union representatives. The most serious 
consequences of the New Balance policy imposed by EU Central Bank in 
view of the introduction in Hungary of euro, are the immediate growing 
of the prices of foods, gaz, electricity, drugs, fuel, the deterioration of 
the living conditions of the people, an increased mass unemployment 
and precariouseness. Tens of thousands of public emloyees, among 
them ten thousand teachers are to be removed, while those continuing 
employed, must work two hours more by week – government is 
programming.  An 7-8 pc inflation is waited by the end of 2006, at the 
same time hungarian currency (HUF) is loosing force vis a vis of euro 
and US dollar. Our social organisations co-operating in the Hungarian 
Social Forum cwg propose a social way to resolve the state balance 
problem: a new income proportional tax system favouring the working 
people, the fair distribution of the goods, the preservation of social 
achievements, the implementation of the rights of families, women, 
children and the increased employment. Our slogan is Jobs, Peace, 
Secure Existence! No to the New Balance policy!
