Katalin Novák said in a statement that the government was working to offer more opportunities for women, to ensure that “they have real freedom of choice and that mothers could be active in all walks of life”.

  1. A simpering simpleton. How did she get that job?! Stay at home and raise your kids lady.

  4. Yes, your absolutely right. Even fools can have received an education. Its only if its put to use after, thats what counts.
