If Fidesz wins the April 3 general election, the government will expand family support schemes and, depending on economic performance, even increase financial support, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview to public radio on Friday.
Orbán told Kossuth Rádió that it was his personal goal to ensure that the financial circumstances of people raising children should improve, adding: “There’s no future without children”. “We want our own children, not foreign children, to inherit this country,” the prime minister said. “With children, there’s a future, but without there’s no future for the family or for the country.”
Hungary spends more on family support than any other European country, he said, indicating that nowhere else do governments attach so much importance to children and families.
The aim, he added, was to create the right conditions so that families bear the responsibility of having children. “We don’t want to become an immigrant country.”

What a disgusting statement. Not that I expected anything different from a despot like him but I can see that his pathetic cheap rethoric for primitive audiences is scratching the bottom of the barrel, really. He obviously is afraid of losing the elections this time.
“We don’t want to become an immigrant country”says the fat dictator. Well matey, lots of research of research has been done on Hungarian DNA and it is a mainly a mish mash of Slav, German and Ottoman, there is virtually no Magyar DNA in the current population. Then there is his policy of pretending that there is such a a thing as ‘ethnic Hungarians’ – people born and raised and educated and paying taxes in Romania and Ukraine etc . who might have great, great, great grandparents who were Hungarian – after Trianon, people born in lands no longer part of Hungary are not Hungarian by birth and obviously have intermarried with the other people in the region. So Hungary is a country of immigrants, whether he likes it or not. Even the fat dictator cannot change DNA nor where people are born and their nationalities.
Orbán we love you! It gives no sense to comment stupid comments above here, please just win the election and continue in your great work..GOD BLESS YOU!
Not a word on us becoming an EMIGRANT country, with so many talented and well trained Hungarians moving abroad (and not returning other than for family visits and vacations). How do we put a stop this ???
The answer to your question is simple. Pay decent salaries and provide the same benefits (as in paid holiday etc) that they get abroad.
Hmm, why aren’t they runinv to China or Japan. Why must west be the one to have diversity. Other nation has there own people culture and religion only the west want to mess it up. They don’t want to become like the west, that have all failed there people. And the one with the DNA. Am sorry for you go back and get things right your a joke. Hungary will remain Hungarians. China are Chinese Japan are Japanese arabs Arabica, why must it be the west that won’t be the west. You will win again.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban retains European identity for Hungary which has already been destroyed by other European nations.
Hungarian children are the smartest, they are descendants from a good gene pool. The parents are not 500 years behind in evolution like in some middle-eastern countries. Hungarians do move abroad and learn a lot and many eventually move home which is Hungary.
The gene pool as a commentator above correctly said is predominantly Slav, Germanic and Ottoman although about 4% of the genetic sample components were Asian (the Huns were an Asian tribe). So Hungarian kids are ‘the smartest’ (a ghastly North American expression and a misuse of the word ‘smart’), something that it is empirically unproven and patently absurd as statement, then it is thanks to the gene pool of the races (including Asian) as mentioned above. Enjoy your Beaver’s Tails. Or is Mongoose on the menu today?
What makes him a ” dictator”. ? He’s won power in free elections with a majority and approval rating most western leaders would die for. You think Hungary has the crime in their cities that much of western Europe has thanks to mass immigration? ” Unfortunately for much of the west whose people were never consulted on third world immigration, diversity has proved to be anything but a strength, and has been confirmed by Puttnams ( largest of its kind) Harvard study showing the opposite to be true.
It seem that men do not have a sense of humor, my comment was a joke.. One fact is evident, educated Hungarians are welcomed in many countries. There was a woman scientist who worked on the COVID vaccine another is doing research in University of Pennsylvania on the cause of addiction, a professor did research in Japan working an a project translating brain function to understandable computer site as well as coming in amongst the tope runners in a marathon. Hungarian emigrees are hardworking and well educated in academics or trade. The latter examples that showed that Hungarian educational standard are good, many Hungarian children have good working habits and took advantage of the educational system. Hungary’s natural resource is their people.
Majority of people live in a village, even in large metropolises. That is, they shop at stores nearest to their home, socialize mostly with their families, work colleagues and neighbors. People are most comfortable in their own village. Strangers, especially strangers coming from lands, lands of whose culture is totally different and cannot assimilate, do not fit in these small villages.
The last point is Hungary is a sovereign country, they have the right to chose with whom they wish to live with and they have the right to determine their own future.
