The opposition LMP party has submitted a draft resolution to parliament aimed at reinforcing Hungary’s child protection and welfare system.
Mate Kanász-Nagy, LMP’s deputy group leader said “the current scandal shows the need for serious government intervention” adding that the proposed measures would “ensure children’s right to welfare, security, a safe environment and education.”
The proposed measures include mandatory psychological screening for jobs involving work with minors, including foster parents. Under the proposals, both child-care institutions could benefit from increased normative subsidies and their employees from a payrise.
LMP would double the family benefit, which has not been raised since 2008, and index it with the rate of inflation each year, Kanász-Nagy said.
He also urged stricter punishment for “people approaching minors in their care with the intent of abuse or make statements to that effect.”
