French survey: Hungary is one of the safest places in Europe
Hungary is now among Europe’s safest countries partly thanks to the work of the National Crime Prevention Council, an interior ministry official said on the occasion of Crime Prevention Day on Wednesday.
Bence Rétvári, the ministry’s parliamentary state secretary, also attributed moves to strengthen the legal system and the police, as well as the high level of employment, to the fall of recorded crimes by a third in a decade, noting 447,000 crimes in a single year a decade ago as against 154,000 in the past year.
Only 4 percent of people in Hungary do not feel safe, a French survey has found, compared with 15 percent in Germany, 20 percent in Belgium, 24 percent in France and 58 percent in Sweden, he said.

Rétvári said crime prevention at the national borders in connection with organised crime linked to migration was also a factor in protecting Hungarians from becoming victims of crime.

what’s the source? I can’t find anything online …
Ah. The Politicians’ “crime comes from migrants and foreigners” mantra!
Could not find the “French survey” – anyone ???
https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/topics/safety/ – not too bad, however we don’t appear to be “leading the way”.
On this one – we rank 40th

At any rate – unfortunately, one in five women are likely to face “Physical and/or Sexual Intimate Partner Violence” in their lifetime, so perhaps the danger is not as much out on the streets – https://evaw-global-database.unwomen.org/en/countries/europe/hungary
As someone who lived in one of the richest and most beautiful cities in world SF is now a shithole. More crime in a day than Budapest sees in a year. You can steal a 1000 dollars worth and you will not be be charged, thanks to a Soros funded DA that has happened across the US in once great cities. More than half the pop of HU has crossed it border in 2 years because it’s wide open.
