German pensioners adore Hungary, but not why you would think
Change language:
The Hungarian government said for a while that there would come a time when masses of Western Europeans would start to come to live in Eastern Europe, including Hungary, because of the unbearable security, social, and economic burden of the migrants and their offspring. German pensioners adore Hungary but have other reasons than safety. German pensioners are aware of the services working badly in Hungary, so they must return to Germany occasionally.
Pension is not enough in Germany
German daily Die Welt wrote their story, and the Hungarian Menedzsment Fórum summed that up in THIS article. The principal reason why the couple decided to buy a house and the surrounding 3,000 sqm land was their financial state. Roland (67) has a low pension in Germany (EUR 800), while his wife (62) does not receive a pension because she remained at home with their children and did not work. Roland worked as an employee for a short time. In the last 30 years, he did not pay his pension fund as a trade representative.
Furthermore, they did not like Germany’s weather. They wanted more sunshine and less rainfall.
Cheap house and huge vineyard
Therefore, they bought an 80 sqm house for only EUR 9,500, which is unimaginable in Germany. Furthermore, they also have a 3,000 sqm “garden” with a 1,000 sqm vineyard. Finally, their house is just 20 minutes from Lake Balaton, so the location is perfect.
In other words, here they can walk the streets without being terrified of a “New European” robbing or raping them, and they don’t have to spend their days in community centers and malls because they can’t afford to heat their apartments.
I just hope that in elections they’re eligible to participate in, they don’t vote for the same Leftist losers that turned Germany into the s…show that caused to leave it in the first place.
As far as healthcare, go private. Why should they have access to Hungarian hospitals for free anyway?!?
Germans totally ruined their country, should they not enjoy the fruit of their stupidity and remain in Germany.
Germans come here only because of cheap prices, as we can clearly read from the article. “German pensioners adore Hungary but have other reasons than safety.”
Orban government has ruined the Hungarian economy and taken the country backwards, and foreign pensioners are taking advantage of that. Perfectly understandable though that foreign pensioners do not want to register as permanent residents of Hungary due to the horrific state of Hungarian public healthcare – which is also another “achievement” of Fidesz government. Great for foreigners enjoying the much higher purchasing power of their money but not so great for local Hungarians trying to make ends meet.
Orbán’s lot copied the English NHS, not fit for purpose.
It is a shame for both governments.
