Orban calls for 'protection of taxation system'

Hungary's current taxation system ensures the resources for development, and therefore needs to be "protected", Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday, in his address to the Active Hungary conference. The functioning tax system "is the heart and soul of our dynamic economy which produces money rather than swallowing it up", Orban told the conference in Siofok, western Hungary. "It is important that this functioning economy, which was so hard to build, will not be messed up," he said.
