Despite the difficult global economic environment, Hungary is continuing to expand its family friendly policies. Hungary will exempt from income tax women who become mothers after they turn 30 in 2023.

“According to the government’s calculations, tens of thousands of young mothers with an income could avail themselves of the possibility of tax exemption,” explained Hungary’s Secretary of State for Family Policy, Ágnes Hornung, in a statement provided to Breitbart Europe on Sunday.

“They are eligible not only for the new income tax exemption, but equally for all other forms of family support, including the family tax allowance, the baby expecting support [loan], and the child care fee,” She continued.

“There are countries in Western Europe like the German [left-liberal coalition] government that has just taken office and has written the following into its programme: ‘Germany is an immigrant country.’ I’d rather cut off my own hand than write such a sentence into any government programme,” he vowed.

Orbán indicated that he believes many Westerners stuck with pro-migration governments share his preference for a less diverse, more socially cohesive society later that year, telling an interviewer that he was “happy to welcome foreigners who like the way we think.”

“So can we say ‘Refugees Welcome’?” his interviewer asked, taking a jab at the Hungarian leader’s longstanding opposition to letting migrants cross his country’s southern border.
