[fse-esf] Victory of the YES in Hungary

[Simó Endre]

Hungary â013 hard blow on the neoliberal policy of the government The overwhelming majority of the Hungarian voters has told YES on Sunday 9 March 2008 to the abrogation of health-care services fees and tuition fees introduced last year by the ruling coalition of socialists and free democrats as part of the cuts and the demolition of the welfare. About 84 pc of the voters have rejected the new paying systems and only about 15 pc has voted for. The result is considered as a hard blow of the neoliberal anti-social policy of the Gyurcsany government. The participation at the referendum promoted by the political opposition and supported by the most important civic organisations was more than 50 pc. Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany has announced the withdrawal of the fees, but has told that his government has no intention to grant the necessary funds from the state budget in order to cover the creating lack in the health-care system. While the President of the Republic of Hungary, Laszlo Solyom was inviting the government to try "the necessary political consequences" from the vote, Gyurcsany has announced that he was not considering the dismissal. In a communique published in Budapest Sunday night, the Hungarian Social Forum-Social Roundtable has called the attention that the government was feigning to respect the popular will, but in fact was trying to wreck it. â01EIt is great that the overwhelming majority of the voters has considered inadmissible that anybody should be excluded from the health-care and the education because no having money to pay the feesâ01D â013 HSF-SR organizers, Janosi and Simo were saying. HSF-SR has greeted the victory of YES as the success of the Hungarian Society against the neoliberal policy.+++
