Underpaid guest workers employed in Budapest instead of Hungarians?

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has called on the Budapest city’s leadership to employ Hungarians for “normal wages” instead of “underpaid” foreign guest workers.

Budapest’s leaders had earlier ruled out the employment of guest workers by municipality companies and had asked their subsidiaries to follow suit, DK city assembly group leader Sándor Szaniszló, told a press conference ahead of a municipal assembly meeting on Wednesday. “But the employment of guest workers who mainly come from third countries outside the EU has been prevalent in Hungary,” he said.

It was unacceptable that foreign capitalists and “the businesses of [Prime Minister] Viktor Orbán made excessive profits this way”, he said, adding that opposition-led Budapest must demonstrate that “it disagrees with the government’s philosophy of exploiting workers in the interest of generating economic growth and making profits.”

  1. Thats the right wing politics, focus on making money to yourself and to your partners wherever you can. Divert attention to illigegal migration and at the same time allow the import of cheap factory and farming etc. labor that goverment close partners can exploit to make more money.

    Lawmakers should be hindering this type of development instead of silently allowing it.
