Sándor Lezsák, Hungary’s deputy house speaker, on Monday paid a tribute of recognition to people employed in social services and to the “tens of thousands” of volunteers working for church and civil organisations to help their community.
In his address at a ceremony in Parliament, marking the Day of Social Work, Lezsák thanked all those working in the sector for their efforts.
Attila Fülöp, state secretary at the human resources ministry, spoke highly of the sector’s 100,000 employees as people working with “faith, courage, openness and generosity”.
The Hungarian parliament declared November 12 the Day of Social Work in 2016.
