Jobbik protests ‘systematic import’ of guest workers
Change language:
Opposition Jobbik on Wednesday called the “systematic import” of guest workers to Hungary “unacceptable” and called for a scheme to induce Hungarians to return home from working abroad.
Deputy party leader Dániel Z. Kárpát told an online press conference that the government had “sneakily incorporated” a section in the law ending the pandemic-related special legal order which enables employment agencies to bring Third World workers to Hungary in a systematically, with no extra permit needed for their long-term employment.
He said it was baffling that while ruling Fidesz was loudly protesting against migration, it participated in organising the import of labour.
Workers from exotic countries are arriving in large numbers, soon to reach a range of hundreds of thousands, he added.
Jobbik is instead calling for a scheme to attract Hungarians to return home from working abroad,
