Hungarian opposition: Payment of EU funds should be contingent of education reform

The opposition Momentum party has said payment of European Union funds to Hungary should be contingent on the government implementing a comprehensive reform of the country’s education system and raising teachers’ salaries.

Momentum MEP Anna Donáth told a news conference in Budapest on Tuesday that she would turn to the European Commission and ask it to make this a condition for the release of European funds to Hungary. Momentum wants teachers to receive an immediate 50 percent salary increase, she added.

The ruling Fidesz party issued a statement in response, saying that left-wing politicians “like Anna Donáth” were responsible for teachers not getting a salary hike because they had been working to block Hungary’s EU funding, thereby depriving teachers of the chance to earn HUF 800,000 (EUR 2,160) each month.

The statement added that Hungarian opposition MEPs Klára Dobrev, Csaba Molnár, Attila Ara-Kovács, Márton Gyöngyosi, Katalin Cseh, Sándor Rónai and István Újhelyi were doing the same, meanwhile earning 5-6 million forints each month.

Had the left wing not undermined their own country, Hungary would have already received the EU funds due to it, Fidesz said.

    …Would someone be kind enough to educate me with regards to which (other) EU member States are paying their teachers with EU funds? Which ones are solely reliant on EU funds to pay their teachers, or to give them a wage rise? I would tend to think that NO others are.

    I dare you you to cover what’s happening with teachers Unions in the US. The president makes over half million $ a dictates what is done in education – parents be damed with FBI and DOJ support – the same thing is happening in EU. Education is now one of the worst in the world- when it used to be the best and even its once great universities are maxist indoctrination camps with 100k entrance fee – of course the left once to void there debt.
