Hungary’s Tisza party, which won the parliamentary election,
wants to prepare the country to join the eurozone by 2030, local broadcaster Telex
reported on April 17.
András Kármán, the party official overseeing financial policy,
said that once Tisza takes power, it will assess Hungary’s financial position
and hold consultations before setting a target date for adopting the euro.
He said the necessary conditions could be in place by 2030,
though he did not rule out the possibility of an earlier entry.
Kármán said price stability would be one of the key
conditions, but added that the party did not want to achieve it through state
controls, arguing that such measures run against the principles of a normal
market economy.
Tisza won a decisive victory in the April 12 election and
secured a constitutional majority in parliament, giving Péter Magyar a path to
become prime minister as early as the beginning of May.
Unlike Viktor Orbán, who maintained close ties with Moscow
and blocked some EU decisions in support of Ukraine, Magyar vowed after his
victory to restore closer cooperation with the EU and NATO. That makes his
remarks about Orbán and Robert Fico not just a domestic political attack, but a
sign of a possible shift in Central Europe’s regional alignment.
