Elections and Church Building

Hungary held elections in April, and the conservative party won 68% percent of the seats. It is about to pass sweeping reforms, like a 16% flat tax and a 15% cut in all government employees’ wages.
In a speech to the Hungarian Parliament last week, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán gave his reasons for a flat tax:

In eight years, the Hungarian national debt went up from 53 percent to nearly 80 percent [of GDP]. This is an assault not only against contemporary Hungarians, but against future generations too...we need a ... work friendly tax system… so simple that a person with only eight grades of primary education could understand the rules.

The Hungarian PM called for a temporary “full stop on telephone, furniture and vehicle purchase and replacement in the public sector.”
And he spoke against stifling bureaucracy:

It is not only tax cuts we need, but we must also start to cut red tape that is paralysing the economy in Hungary… the authorities should not rule, but should serve people -- should not set up barriers, but demolish them…

Also what I know from work is that ever since FIDESZ (the name of the conservative party) is in power the nationalist that have been demonstrating on the streets got absolutely no publicity in any media. This is rapidly draining their popularity and thus their activity as well.

Please keep praying that this country would be free, and that the leaders would obey God’s law of love.

Also we have been looking at new facilities for our church, since the office-apartment where we have been having our services will not be available as of October, and hopefully with God’s leading we may have found a building that would be perfect for us! Location is great, it’s cheap (relatively) aaaand it needs a lot of work. Our regional field leader is here at the moment and they are going to look at it to see if it’s something worth investing into.

Please pray that we would be able to make the right decision on this!
