Attending an event on Sunday marking the tenth anniversary of the enactment of a law that exempts household distillers of pálinka, the national fruit brandy, from paying excise tax, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called the law a “textbook example of long-term change” from beyond the metropolis. “Collect all the essential ingredients of life here, all that is worth taking forward into the future and passing on to our children … and forward it to your representative in parliament” to be enshrined in law, the prime minister told the event’s participants. He said that „This will guarantee our ability to lead our Hungarian lives in the way it pleases us” Orbán said the law was not only “an example from the past” but also “a guide to the future”.
