Péter Magyar presented the main lines of his draft state budget for 2027 on Monday, setting up another public clash with Viktor Orbán. Orbán then said he would end what he described as an economic era built on labor. His attack placed the country’s economic model at the center of the dispute over how public money should be used. Orbán’s remarks suggested that he is trying to protect policies associated with the previous governing approach. Magyar, by contrast, is positioning himself as seeking a break with that legacy. The confrontation indicates that fiscal policy and the future role of workers remain central to Hungary’s political contest.
