Illusion, practically zero – this is how interest groups commented on the announced sectoral wage increases

Péter Magyar announced a sector wage increase of 677 billion HUF, leading to an average income rise of 17% for about 600,000 employees next year. However, various sectors expressed dissatisfaction due to unmet expectations, including a promised 25% increase and immediate implementation post-elections. Concerns were raised about the lack of meaningful consultations between the government and unions regarding wages, and uncertainty remains about the effective date and future plans for wage increases. The police sector explicitly stated their disappointment, reflecting broader discontent across affected fields.
