A decision by Hungary's government to cut the price of six basic foods from February will remain in effect for three months but could be extended, if necessary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas said on Thursday.

Orban, who faces a tough fight for re-election on April 3, said on Wednesday that the prices of flour, sugar, sunflower oil, milk, pork leg, and chicken breast must be cut back to mid-October levels from next month.
