Justice Minister: Government will bolster family support system

Hungary’s government sees the family as the basic unit of society and family support as inseparable from work.

Justice Minister Judit Varga said the government will maintain and bolster its family support system.

Minister Varga told a conference held to mark the 110th anniversary of the Hungarian family support system that Hungary’s government saw the family as the basic unit of society and family support as inseparable from work. Family support is linked to work rather than subsidies, she said, citing tax cuts for families raising small children as an example. Deputy state secretary Attila Beneda said the government is offering a reliable family support system to ensure all families can raise as many children as they have planned.
