Major Hungarian ID card to be phased out: What is the government up to?
Change language:
A significant administrative shift is underway in Hungary as the government proposes to eliminate a major ID card, the traditional paper-based social security booklet (known as the TB-kiskönyv). The bill, submitted by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén and Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, aims to modernise and simplify the system through full digitalisation.
The TB booklet, once used to track employment periods and social security contributions essential for healthcare and pension entitlements, has long been criticised for its outdated format. Typically stored by employers and prone to being misplaced or improperly filled out, it often causes complications during job transitions or when applying for sick leave or pensions, Blikk writes.
Major ID card to be scrapped by government
Under the new legislation (find the bill HERE), the booklet would be replaced by an electronic interface integrated into Hungary’s existing administrative databases. This would enable employers and relevant authorities to access up-to-date information on employment and social security status instantly. The digital system promises faster processing, fewer bureaucratic hurdles, and improved transparency.
Even though the Hungarian government has successfully resisted the globalist-socialist-fascist endeavors to destroy the country and its nation, it is fully determined to usher in the era of “digital citizenship” (and digital currency, while at it). No government can resist that siren call, wherever and on whichever political spectrum it is.
The tragedy is that hardly anybody among the citizenry realizes what that means, how it will be used, and how it will affect them. I wish people would wake the eff up, but alas…
What would you suggest? Protests against the government? Since when has that accomplished anything other than the cancellation of plans for an internet tax in 2011? What if the protests were organised and attended by the same individuals that recent protests have been? Would you be supportive of them in that event?
The next step towards the digital prison. Take a good look at China, this will be our future if we don’t stop this madness.
