"Soaring inflation is taking the steam out of Hungary's wedding market, supercharged" by fascist nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's "family support measures," with the number of weddings "plunging to a nine-year-low at the start of 2023."

Orban's administration has "launched housing support schemes and cheap loans...to arrest Hungary's demographic decline, while strongly opposing immigration."

"But the situation appears to be changing with Hungary now projected to run the EU's highest average inflation rate at 16.4% this year amid surging food, power and services prices, driving up the cost of nuptials and eroding the value of Orban's support measures."
