Orban: Opposition would scrap utility price cuts

The opposition's claim that they would align utility prices to the world market in effect means scrapping the government's measures to cut utility prices, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio on Friday morning. "The problem with Hungarian politics is that we keep arguing about whether the past should return, rather than looking into the future," Orban said. The well-known figures of the Gyurcsany-Bajnai governments, which were in power between 2004-2010, are trying to make a comeback, he said. "We would be back to where we were before 2010 ... if they return, so will high prices," he said.
