People “support the family and raising children”, the office of President Katalin Novák said citing answers to one of ten questions Novák posted on social media platform X on Thursday.
Following a meeting with X owner Elon Musk last September, with demographic problems high on its agenda, Novák launched her Humanity Tuesdays survey, posing a question each week in an effort to focus attention on those problems.
According to the presidential office’s statement, the most popular question in the survey was read by 42 million people, while 62 percent of those that answsered thought that people raising children “cannot suffer an economic disadvantage”.
Fully 70.7 percent of respondents said they had plans to start a family, while 87 percent urged making jobs family-friendly. Eighty-six percent also supported Novák’s position that women should be helped have a family and a career at the same time. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they would like to have three or more children, “which means that more children are desired than are actually born,” the statement said. Over 86 percent of the respondents said they agreed with a remark by Novák, who said “overpopulation is not the problem … the family does not cause but will resolve climate change.”
Here is what she wrote on Facebook:
“People are in favour of family and having children. This is shown by the answers given to the 10 questions asked in the survey Humanity Tuesdays. I launched the questionnaire series after meeting Elon Musk in September, who also joined the initiative. Here are some of the results:

If you have children and raise them well and give them a good education they will be smart enough to leave Hungary which is exactly what is happening right now. Educated young people don’t want to have anything to do with Orbanistan.
I concur, my fellow small-l liberal friend. Only the most refined among us understand the droll and drudgery of the average Hungarian life. Oh, if only everyone could appreciate the comfort of the Western countries. The modern architecture, the burlesque night life, the scintillating open attitudes towards all things. Ah, but only the creme-de-la-creme have what it takes cerebrally to ascend to a higher state and out of the darkness of Orbanistan! I shudder at the thought of being shackled to such a horrid place.
It is we, the fluffy upper-crust of the EU, who will educate the unwashed Eastern masses on what they know not. After all, “folksy” wisdom is soooo passe. Fix a pipe? Shoe a horse? Grow crops? Pour concrete? What do such peasants know of global values, let alone their own interests?
Now if you will excuse me, friend, the musk has arrived for my afternoon bath, and I do wish to attend before the water becomes unpleasantly tepid.
