Deputy PM: Hungary to become more attractive to young people by 2014

By

There is hope that Hungary will become more attractive to young people in 2014 than it was in 2010, deputy Prime Minister Tibor Navracsics said on Saturday.

Navracsics told a meeting of ruling Fidesz’s youth arm Fidelitas that the government had already taken the initial steps towards this aim and needs to further open to young people.

He said “hysteria” had recently spread about young people feeling hopeless and wanting to leave the country in unprecedented numbers. He said this has been a trend since 2004 when Hungary joined the European Union and enabled young people to study and work abroad.

The task of politicians is to make sure that all those who leave should be able to return and find what they want at home, Navracsics said. Such programmes include the Hungarian Academy of Science’s Talent scheme and a scholarhip by the ministry of public administration that enables young people to spend six months at a European public administration institute or ministry, he said.

    Yeah, blame the EU, forget about the fact that Orban studied abroad pre-2004 etc. Never mind we have the tools to fix the problem!!!! Mr N, do you really think that the odd scholarship is going to turn the tide? These bright young people are leaving to find jobs, to live in a society where government is not trying to take over every part of everyday life, where VAT is not 27% and where tax changes do not rob the poor to pay the rich.

    Yes, Tibi, it has been trend but over the last two years it has got a lot worse, because the government you are part f is a great case-study in bad governance. Everything you do is a either an obvious sop to your business partners, an obvious rort to silence critics or a knee jerk response where the long-term costs outweigh the short-term benefits.

    Focus on the real issue for young people: the bad economy with bad or no job prospects. You will only fix that with foreign investment. Tibi, you seem to be the most decent of the Fidesz criminal enterprise: suck it up, apologise for your mistakes, sack Matolcsy, get Orbán to resign, launch an investigation a real into Közgép, and start a real “center-right” party.

    “The task of politicians is to make sure that all those who leave should be able to return and find what they want at home, Navracsics said.”

    Think a bit more certainty is what many of them would return for. Yer boss is not up for that though id ne Tibor fighting his various pointless wars.

    “this has been a trend since 2004 when Hungary joined the European Union and enabled young people to study and work abroad.”

    It is a fact for all Eastern Europian countries. The EU is a curse, although all the blind liberals here wouldn’t agree ofcourse.

    Amazing, that Mr.Navracsics can see the future quite clearly:

    There is hope that Hungary will become more attractive to young Chinese people in 2014 than it was in 2010, for sure.

    The same applies to young people from Africa, Asia and some from the Middle-East too…
