V zadnjih mesecih se je pojavila vse večja zaskrbljenost glede zanesljivosti uradnih madžarskih statističnih podatkov o revščini, ki so bile pod nadzorom zaradi anomalij, odkritih v podatkih, ki jih je objavil Centralni statistični urad (KSH).
V poročilih je bilo poudarjeno, da so po prejšnjih izračunih KSH velike dele prebivalstva presegli prag revščine, kar je navidezno zmanjšalo število ljudi, ki živijo v relativni revščini. Vendar pa ta izid ni imel jasne razlage tako raziskovalcev kot nekdanjih namestnikov direktorjev KSH. Posledice so bile pomembne, saj so ti statistični podatki podpirali vladno pripoved, da revščina na Madžarskem upada. Kasneje, po reviziji dvomljivih podatkov, je postalo očitno, da je veliko več ljudi dejansko pod pragom revščine, kot se je prej mislilo. Toda natančna narava začetne napake je ostala nejasna.
Madžarska akademija znanosti je skupaj s tremi specializiranimi odbori, Madžarskim sociološkim združenjem in Madžarskim ekonomskim združenjem izdala skupno izjavo, v kateri je zahtevala odstranitev pomanjkljivih podatkov o dohodkih iz podatkovnih zbirk Eurostata in Madžarske akademije znanosti.
Po navedbah izjave je širjenje napačnih podatkov povzročilo znatno škodo raziskavam na področju družbenih znanosti in oblikovanju politik, ki temeljijo na dokazih. Prav tako je med strokovnjaki in širšo javnostjo povzročilo napačne predstave o razporeditvi dohodkov in družbenih pogojih na Madžarskem.
Po prvotnih razkritjih so raziskovalci, ki so najprej razkrili neskladja, ugotovili, da so se tudi po reviziji podatkov KSH številne gospodinjstva, ki so sodelovala v študiji, spremenila v svojih prijavljenih dohodkih. Poleg tega so se nekatere prejšnje težave nadaljevale ali poslabšale, kar je povzročilo nadaljnje dvome o popravljenih številkah. Kljub tem izzivom so raziskovalci poudarili, da njihov cilj ni spodkopati verodostojnost KSH, temveč popraviti netočnosti. Trdijo, da so zanesljive statistike bistvene za učinkovito upravljanje države in boj proti revščini, saj brez natančnih podatkov ni mogoče oblikovati in izvajati ciljno usmerjenih politik.
Ta situacija poudarja ključno vlogo statističnih agencij pri oblikovanju nacionalnih narativov in informiranju o političnih odločitvah. Medtem ko se razprava nadaljuje, je KSH bil kontaktiran za pripombe o zadevi, posodobitve pa bodo zagotovljene, ko bo prejel odgovor. Do takrat je poudarek še vedno na zagotavljanju, da so podatki, ki se uporabljajo za razumevanje in obravnavanje socialnih in gospodarskih izzivov na Madžarskem, pregledni in zanesljivi.

Earlier reports published in April and June 2025 by Valasz Online highlighted inconsistencies in official poverty data, noting unusual spikes in certain income brackets that distorted the usual distribution. These discrepancies appeared to artificially lower the measured level of poverty in Hungary, reinforcing the government narrative of declining relative poverty. The KSH later recalculated the questionable data, revealing significantly more people living below the poverty threshold, though the cause of the initial error remains unclear. The professional organizations now demand transparency regarding the origins of these errors and the establishment of institutional frameworks to ensure future accuracy in statistical reporting.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): The article presents concerns raised by academic and professional organizations about statistical inaccuracies in poverty measurements. It does not exhibit overt ideological framing but rather focuses on the technical and methodological issues within the KSH's data collection and reporting processes
Zakaj te ocene (Dejstva 95 · Objektivnost 90): The article accurately summarizes the concerns raised by researchers regarding the KSH's income poverty data, citing specific findings from studies published in Válasz Online. It mentions the 63% drop in child poverty between 2015-2020 and the unusual spikes in income distribution above the poverty
TelexNeodvisenProgresivnoDejstva 92Objektivnost 88pred 6 dneviThe article discusses concerns raised by academic organizations regarding the accuracy of Hungary’s income statistics compiled by the Central Statistical Office (KSH). Initially, anomalies were discovered in the EU-SILC survey data, leading to revisions. However, many suspected intentional manipulation, while the KSH attributed the issues to errors. Now, three academic groups have requested the removal of flawed poverty indicators from Eurostat and KSH databases, demanding transparency about the causes of the errors and the establishment of institutional frameworks to ensure reliable future data. They argue that inaccurate data undermines social research and evidence-based policymaking. In March 2026, researchers reported new anomalies after the initial corrections, noting that nearly all households had their incomes altered, yet many previous problems remained unresolved. The researchers aim to improve data reliability rather than discredit the KSH, emphasizing the importance of accurate statistics for effective governance.
Ocena pristranskosti (Progresivno): The article frames the issue as a systemic failure in statistical integrity, aligning with left-leaning critiques of state institutions and calls for accountability. It emphasizes the need for transparency and institutional reform, which reflects progressive values. While the KSH is criticized, the矛
Zakaj te ocene (Dejstva 92 · Objektivnost 88): This article accurately reports the call for the KSH to address the questionable income statistics and their impact on social research and policy-making. It references the revision of data and the involvement of academic organizations. However, it slightly simplifies the timeline of events compared
