Hungary's politicians took to
the road on Friday, the last day of campaigning before Sunday's
election, with the ruling Socialists pledging economic reform
and the opposition warning of an imminent financial crisis.
The governing Socialist-liberal coalition stands a good
chance of winning the second round of elections after a strong
performance in the first round on April 9 and becoming the first
government to hold on to power since communism ended.
Surveys show the coalition may win up to 208 seats in the
386-member body when 8.0 million Hungarians vote in the
country's fifth free election since 1989 and the first since the
country joined the European Union.
Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany said if re-elected his
administration would tackle the state sector, whose inefficiency
and overmanning has created the biggest budget deficit relative
to the size of the economy of any country in the EU.
"The first 100 days must be about launching... decisive
steps affecting the operation of the state," Gyurcsany told
public television.
He said if the Socialists form the next government, they
will submit 18-20 reform bills to parliament in the first 30-40
days, but did not give any details.
Gyurcsany, a 44-year old millionaire who shot to power in
September 2004 in a party coup and has since overturned a 10
point poll deficit, said there would be far fewer ministries,
but declined to reveal more details about the planned changes.
His rival Viktor Orban, who leads the main conservative
opposition Fidesz, said the economy was heading towards a crisis
and was burdened with huge debts.
Orban, 42, whose brash language and strong personality has
split the right wing vote, making it almost impossible to
overturn the Socialist lead from the first round, said without
tax cuts to boost the economy, the country would break down.
"We will not get there. The car will stop, it has run out of
petrol, and we will have to get out. It's raining outside, we
will be covered in mud to our neck, and we will have to push the
car to the next petrol station," Orban said on television.
Economists say Hungary's next government will be under
immediate pressure from financial markets to rein in the budget
deficit, after four years of overspending by the Socialists.
If the next government fails to take credible steps towards
reforming the bloated state sector, the country may face
downgrades in its credit ratings and a financial crisis.
