Opposition to compensate Gáspár and Ráhel Orbán’s godfather!

The opposition Socialist Party on Thursday promised to compensate the Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship (MET), a Methodist church headed by Gábor Iványi who was a founder of the now-defunct liberal Free Democrats, for its loss of a public education contract with the government, if the opposition alliance won next year’s general election.

Ágnes Kunhalmi, the party’s co-leader, told an online press conference after meeting the leaders of the church that the organisation was set to lose out on 95 million forints (EUR 272,700) in government support after it had been told in June that the government would not be signing a public education contract with it.

Kunhalmi called on the government to reconsider its decision.

The MET operates schools in Hungary’s poorest areas, including two vocational training institutions, Kunhalmi said.
