„Hungary’s government is about to discuss a motion to make decision makers of the country’s Soviet era pay taxes on their pensions. The motion also aims at holding former officials criminally accountable for decisions taken during that time.
The motion on the agenda would charge those who held ranks in the ruling political party during the country’s communist past, as well as those in its youth organization and an armed organization known as the laborers’ guard.
We asked the government to evaluate whether it is legally possible to make those who had earlier held senior party positions pay a reparations tax, the head of the group of representatives for the governing Fidesz party Janos Lazar told reporters Monday.
