Viktor Orban: no tax for Hungarian women with four or more children

[muriel_volestrangler]

Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has promised that women who have four or more children will never pay income tax again, in a move aimed at boosting the country’s population.

Orbán, who has emerged as Europe’s loudest rightwing, anti-immigration voice in recent years, said getting Hungarian families to have more children was preferable to allowing immigrants from Muslim countries to enter.

“In all of Europe there are fewer and fewer children, and the answer of the west to this is migration,” said Orbán in his annual state of the nation address on Sunday. “They want as many migrants to enter as there are missing kids, so that the numbers will add up. We Hungarians have a different way of thinking. Instead of just numbers, we want Hungarian children. Migration for us is surrender.”
...
He has repeatedly claimed that the Hungarian-born American financier and philanthropist George Soros, a favoured target of the far right across the globe, is masterminding a conspiracy to destroy Europe by promoting mass migration.

This is the far right in control - white supremacy, and hateful conspiracy theories.

2. I doubt that's going to make a significant difference

in the birth rate. Women mostly don't want that many children.

3. How rude of a country demanding that immigrants adapt and conform to their culture

rather than being like Germany and the UK in bending over backward to adapt and conform to the immigrant's culture. If that's not white supremacy I don't know what is.

4. The world seems to be dividing overtly into ethnic tribes

without even the pretense of doing otherwise.

5. And a lot more stomach-wrenching stuff at the link

for example ....

As the prime minister spoke, anti-Orbán protesters gathered in Budapest for the latest in a series of rallies against the government which began in December after parliament passed a “slave law” allowing employers to demand more overtime from workers. The law is seen as another result of the demographic problems in the country, as a labour shortage means jobs cannot be filled. The political opposition to Orbán is divided, however, and the protest momentum appears to have diminished.

Orbán has declared the main focus of his current term in office to be the demographic situation, and his government launched a “public consultation” last year, mailing questionnaires with a number of leading questions about migration and family policy to every Hungarian household.

... He also promised favourable mortgage terms for families with multiple children, support for families with three or more children to buy a car, and increased funding for daycare centres and kindergartens.
