Tisza Party Demands Resignation of Hungarian Health Secretary Over Propaganda Spending During Healthcare Crisis
Outcry Over Hungarian Healthcare: Tisza Party Calls for Reform
In a recent Facebook post, András Kulja, the health spokesman for the opposition Tisza Party, urged the state secretary for health, Péter Takács, to present a concrete reform program for Hungary’s healthcare system instead of what he characterized as “propaganda.”
Kulja highlighted the dire need for basic renovations in healthcare facilities, pointing out that while the government plans to allocate over 3 billion forints for fireworks this year, they have funneled 1,500 billion forints into Chinese battery factories that are now pulling out of the country.
He criticized Takács for purportedly spending “several hundred thousand forints a day” on promotional videos, produced by a five-member team, which he claims present an overly optimistic portrayal of the current state of healthcare in Hungary. Kulja insists that the focus should be on addressing the acute shortage of medical personnel and ensuring that essential healthcare services are accessible to the population.
In addition to healthcare concerns, Kulja did not shy away from broader allegations regarding government spending, asserting that the foreign minister and his family owned luxury speakers worth 3 million forints, and pointing out high-value clothing and jewelry owned by the cabinet office chief’s spouse. He also accused the son of the former central bank governor of embezzling 600 billion forints from the National Bank of Hungary without facing consequences.
Kulja is calling for Takács to resign, suggesting that someone with a genuine understanding of healthcare should assume the role to facilitate much-needed reforms.
