Survey: Majority of Hungarians back government plan to raise average wage to EUR 2450

74 percent of respondents in a recent survey reacted positively to government plans to gradually increase the average gross wage to HUF 1 million (EUR 2,450), pollster Real-PR 93 told MTI on Wednesday.

Fully 19 percent, however, expressed a negative view concerning the government plans, the pollster said.

Among decided voters, 83 percent of ruling Fidesz supporters, 61 percent of people affiliated with the opposition Tisza Party, 64 percent of those supporting the leftist Democratic Coalition and 74 percent of radical Mi Hazánk expressed support for the planned pay rise.

Real-PR 93 conducted its phone survey between Oct 28 and 30 with a sample of 1,000 adults.
