According to László Parragh, the closing of shops on Sunday is within reach
The Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry made suggestions to the government on how businesses could be helped in their fight against skyrocketing energy prices. The president of the chamber confirmed the voices according to which a possible closing of shops on Sunday would be a good opportunity to save money, as he said, this already exists in other countries’ culture.

Shops may opt for closing on Sundays
László Parragh gave the truth to those who said that a possible closing of shops on Sunday would be a good opportunity to save money, as he said, there is a culture for this. According to him, sometimes a purchase with us turns into a family program, which is not necessarily lucky.
If we look at the opening hours, it can be seen that in many cases this is shortened, in many places they save on lighting, everyone is looking for a solution that can save money. He added: the fact that we talk a lot about the energy crisis in itself results in significant energy savings throughout Europe, but this is little compared to the scale at which prices are increasing.
