About this episode
In this special episode, we're joined by Zoltán Kész: economist, activist, and former member of the Hungarian parliament, ahead of Hungary's April 12th elections. Zoltán cuts through the political noise to examine what 16 years of government economic policy actually meant for ordinary Hungarian consumers: dismantled private pensions, vanishing rural banks, price caps that emptied shelves, and energy bills designed to impress rather than inform. A must-listen before one of the EU's most important votes of the year. Because, as Zoltán puts it, economic reality doesn't negotiate.
