Gloomy outlook: Hungary’s population could fall to 7 million by 2050?
Zsolt Németh, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly, told the Hungarian News Agency MTI that “Hungarians are dwindling, so the government must also focus on ensuring that as many Hungarians as possible “remain Hungarian” or “become Hungarian”.
Hungarians could fall back to 8.5-9 million
“We are shrinking quite dramatically in the Carpathian Basin (…) We are facing a period when the number of Hungarians here in the Carpathian Basin will be such that in our lifetime, including Hungarians abroad, we will be 8.5-9 million,” Zsolt Németh said at a panel discussion at the Rákóczi Szabadegyetem in Sátoraljaújhely, Telex reports. He added that the population within Hungary’s borders could fall to 7 million by 2050 if trends do not change.
Hungarians across the border are also dwindling
He also described the census data and demographic indicators from across the border as extremely depressing:
- In Transylvania, the number of Hungarians has fallen from 1.6 million to 1 million in thirty years;
- In Felvidék (Upper Hungary), the decline is 20 percent;
- In the Southern Land (Délvidék), the Yugoslav wars have decimated the Hungarian population;
- And in Transcarpathia, Németh said, “we don’t know what is happening”, but there is at least a 40 percent decline.
Hungary’s population could have been even smaller
Németh and his interlocutor, State Secretary János Árpád Potápi, also agreed that if Hungarians had not come to Hungary from beyond the borders in the 1990s, the population of the 93,000-square-kilometre area would be under 9 million today. According to the panelists, the government’s family policy has not yet changed this situation.

This is all Orbans fault- he refuses to bring cultural enrichment and no go zones to this culturely void country. The great leader of the US has opened its borders – no questions asked all expenses paid. Maybe you can ask the US ambassador here how it’s done. In less than 3 years the number is approaching 7 million.
Very bad news for the Hungarian economy and for national security
…..or “become Hungarian”.
What does that mean? Someone is born Hungarian and cannot “become” one.
“Becoming one” is exactly what they made the native population of the Western European countries believe… Arabs, Negroes, Asians etc suddenly,
“become” German, Dutch, France man, English, Swedes etc
Now Orbán wants to work out this globalist replacement agenda in Hungary?
As I said before, those third world “guest workers” will not leave, like they didn’t leave in Western Europe. They will “become Hungarians”…. if we don’t stop them!
Exemple like me who’s a Christian white male from Switzerland who comes in Hungary, learn the language and the coutumes before to ask for the Nationality. We are a lot of white Christians from west Europe who are tired to be the ennemy number one in our pro immigration, neo-feminist, LGBTQ pushed agenda country.
I would also take super carefully this studies because on what are the projection made of ? 10 years analyzis ? 3 years analyzis ? How COVID deaths have been pondered in the mortality expected figures ?
Family oriented politic will give results but it needs a generation (commonly admitted 36 years) to see the real impact of the politic.
And how do we count all the leftist brainwashed by EU/US propaganda who expatriate in west ? Is this movement will be lower if Trump and other right nationalist take over in EU/US with as incidence stop bashing Hungary ?
Sociology is always more complex than just an article about instant figures.
Man, Hungary is becoming a shit-hole with all the “christian” racists flocking there from the west. I’d rather live next door to someone pleasant(of any cultural background) than a white guy full of fear and hate for those that are different from himself. Orbán welcomes the dickhead neighbors. I feel sorry for the good people there.
I left Hungary last week, just like my grandparents did. Good riddance.
