Hungarians better learn how to make babies or they will die out as it’s happening in historic Hungarian villages outside of Hungary. Hungary should have a population of around 15 million people, not 9 million.
If the population continues to decline by about 40,000 people per year Hungary will cease to exist in less than 250 years.
That’s Karma for not allowing refugees to enter.
