Summary
A Medián survey of 1,000 people found 75% of Hungarians support adopting the euro, while 23% say the country should not be considering it now.
Among supporters, 22% want the euro introduced as soon as possible, while most favor a slower transition after lengthy preparation.
Political splits are sharp: 63% of Fidesz supporters oppose focusing on euro adoption now, versus just 6% of ruling Tisza Party supporters; overall, 92% of Tisza voters back the move.
The findings align with Eurobarometer data showing record 80% support in Hungary, up from 57% in 2016 and higher than Romania, Poland or the Czech Republic.
Despite rising support, Hungary meets none of the formal euro-entry criteria; the government targets 2030, though economists and markets doubt that timetable.
