Justice Minister: Government’s family support programs cover single parents

The justice minister said that assisting families was “something like a maternal instinct” for the government, which was “constantly fine-tuning” the system.

Justice Minister Judit Varga has announced that the government’s support programs for families also cover single parents.

According to MTI, the justice minister said that assisting families was “something like a maternal instinct” for the government, which was “constantly fine-tuning” the system. The minister noted that the government plans to submit a bill tightening up the child protection law to parliament during its spring season. Children are “sacred and inviolable” in Hungary, she added. The minister said Hungary spent 6.2% of its GDP on family support in 2021, which she called a world record, adding that many countries had shown an interest in the Hungarian system. The government has made child support more client-friendly and single parents would be helped “in every possible way.”
