Signature Fidesz-branded utility-price regulation reducing household tariffs for natural gas, electricity, and district heating by 10% on 1 January 2013, a further 11% for gas and electricity and 10% for district heating on 1 November 2013, and 6.5% for gas in April 2014 — cumulatively ~25% cuts delivered before the 2014 general election. Tariffs frozen thereafter at substantially below-market levels, cross-subsidised by state-owned ENKSZ / MVM via industrial tariffs and budgetary support. Delivered through the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) under statutory authority rather than market-based retail competition (the retail gas/electricity market was effectively re-monopolised around state suppliers). Reform of August 2022 under the inflation and gas-price shock narrowed the reduced-tariff entitlement to average-consumption households (~1,729 m³ gas/year; 2,523 kWh electricity/year), with supra-average consumption charged at market-linked prices — first material rollback of the regime in a decade.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
