There are those who do it poorly anyway, like the capital, where basic services can also be compromised. Is the roughly 6 percent deficit the government has raised to tackle the pandemic particularly large? Is the economy emerging, have we reached its lowest level? Gabor Kovacs, HVG journalist, is going to find out on Cabin.
