    Magyar intends to set an example by targeting the salaries of high ranking public officials, including his governement, but even people like mayors and high-ranking members of state companies. He claimed in an interview yesterday that these measures would save Hungary about 50 billion forints (about 16 million dollars) in 4 years. Some say it’s empty populism, some say it’s a much needed measure to balance funds, especially because the politicians of Hungary have been “overpaid’.
