Opposition parties criticise the government’s family benefit schemes
Change language:
Politicians of three opposition parties criticised the allied ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat (KDNP) parties over their family and child support schemes as unfair, calling it their task “to protect our children from them”, on Friday.
Representing the Socialists, the Democratic Coalition (DK) and Momentum, they said at an online press conference that the Fidesz-KDNP government had introduced schemes that provide a broader circle of benefits to families with a larger income than to those earning less.
Imre Komjáthi, a deputy leader of the Socialists, said those schemes provide greater support to “the privileged” while give a single parent raising children practically no benefits at all.
He said the opposition alliance, if elected into power on April 3, will introduce a scheme granting a broadest possible circle of tax benefits to those raising children alone and will set up a stand-alone ombudsman office for child and youth protection.
There are ample statistics to prove that children brought up by a family, consisting of a Mother and Father, are happier and more successful. Why would the opposition want to make changes that would damage Hungarian children?
The oppositions’ statements continually demonstrate their lack of qualification to run even a small company, let alone a country.

Yet again another unbalanced view from the Canadian, too much maple syrup. Statistics also show mental, physical and sexual abuse towards children are on the rise from heterosexual parents. You live in a fairytale.
