Do Ukrainians cheat the Hungarian pension system?
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) is calling for efforts to stop Ukrainians from abusing Hungary’s pension system, a party lawmaker said on Saturday, describing the scheme as a “Ukrainian pension business”.
Gergely Arató said that since 2010, Ukrainian citizens had been setting up fictitious addresses in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County in north-east Hungary.
They have been abusing a former Hungarian-Soviet agreement under which they could gain eligibility for Hungarian pension, which is significantly more than Ukrainian pension, with the help of fake documents and citing working years in the former Soviet Union and Ukraine, he added.
Opposition having no chance to win the 2022 elections?
In addition to picking up pensions ranging 200,000-300,000 forints (EUR 556-834) monthly, they have been using health care services in Hungary despite the fact that they had never worked in Hungary, he said.
The government in power in 2009 started preparing the cancellation of the agreement but it was never completed by the governments of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, he added.
Arató said it was “shocking” that a government would be “handing out money to Ukrainian pensioners out of political interest” while Hungarian pensioners are only “bribed with campaign-like bonuses before the elections”.
After the 2022 election, a democratic government under DK prime ministerial candidate Klára Dobrev would end the abuse of the pension system, he said.

Arató and Dobrev have demonstrated their hatred of Hungarians time and time again.
We want nothing of Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang and their lies.
István don’t use “we”, use “I”. Speak for yourself because you don’t represent anyone but yourself.
Anonymous is posting under many names, hoping to appear more than just one far-left, Hungarian-hating foreigner. It is not fooling anyone.
The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang hates Hungarians. Their incredible wealth is the result of Dobrev’s grandfather, Apró ordering the mass execution of Hungarian patriots on Kossuth square.
The Kossuth square communist terror bloody Thursday occurred on October 25, 1956. The exact number of innocent victims will probably never be known but it is estimated that over one thousand, including men, women and children were murdered under Apró’s direction.
The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang didn’t change and the atrocities continued during October, 2006 under Dobrev’s husband, Gyurcsány’s rain of terror.
No sane Hungarian would ever vote for these Hungarian haters.
ooops: not rain of terror but Reign of Terror
Who extended Hungarian citizenship to people who have a distant relative from pre Trianon to people within the Ukraine? Did they not teach you that in the US school that you attended?
Tamás, you asked two meaningless troll questions showing your ignorance.
It was the Fidesz and they didn’t teach it in US schools. The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang opposed it.
“The Hungarian parliament passed a government-initiated dual citizenship law in 2011 aimed at ensuring fast-track Hungarian citizenship for Hungarians living abroad, mostly to ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring countries. Fidesz group leader: Only extremists are against dual citizenship”
Yesterday, I posted this on a Fidesz facebook list:
” Még soha se szavaztam a Fideszre de most a Fideszre szavazok.
A Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró klán vezette ellenzék számomra elfogadhatatlan, megrémít.”
In just a few hours, I got 458 likes.and encouraging words from 58 Hungarians.
István, if you depend upon being liked on Facebook, you have real problems. Are you another Blanche Dubois? Always dependent upon the kindness of strangers? (A Street car named desire).
Just as an experiment, since posting my last comment to you here István, I posted on Facebook that ‘I took the dog for a walk this morning.’ Nothing more and nothing less. People who know me know I have a cat and not a dog. I got 300 likes in this 15 minutes.
You appear to be the same pervert that follows me around, using different names but always the same needy desperation. Pitiful.
Brilliant Tamás, like it 🤣. Maybe all István has is Facebook, now that really is pitiful!
Laci: The same perver posting using another name. Pitiful.
