Shocking levels of discrimination in Hungary!
Change language:
According to the latest statistics by Eurobarometer, Hungarians are not very tolerant of people from backgrounds other than their own.
As reported by hvg.hu, Hungary is the only country in the European Union where the number of people who wouldn’t want a Muslim colleague or family member has increased. Eurobarometer has found that Hungarians are most likely to discriminate against homosexuals, gypsies and non-Christians.
This was the largest ever study conducted by the organisation, with 27,438 people surveyed from 28 EU member states, including 1,027 Hungarians. Across the whole study, 61% of participants believed that the Roma population faces the highest level of discrimination in the EU.
Hungary was one of the few EU member states where discrimination has increased since the previous survey in 2015.
Hungary has improved in certain respects; 81% of respondents would not mind voting a female candidate in the 2022 general election. However, 40% of those surveyed would find it uncomfortable to have a homosexual prime minister. In fact, they would rather have a Roma prime minister than one who is attracted to his or her own gender.
Day-to-day interactions
In their day to day lives, 33% of Hungarians are weary of working with transsexual colleagues. This is considerably higher than the 12% EU average. 34% of Hungarians would not want to work with Muslims either.
I am Christian, white, European independent in the Hungary and its stressful in Hungary, people are the problem. God help any one else.
Its not worth trying living in Hungary.
Unfortunately true exacerbated by the current political regime. Intolerance and suspicion were always there, but now it has reached dizzying heights. Soon discrimination and hate will be prevalent in the indigenous population. You can already see it. Pity, because I remember a time many years back when people were friendly, happy and smiling. Those days are sadly gone.
I am Pakistani Muslim living more then 11 years in Budapest, I felt this is my country and proud to live here great behaviour of Hungarians impressive, thanks Hungary ❤️
