Hunagrian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán‘s policies caused an unprecedented brain drain as thousands of Hungarians left the country searching for better jobs and education. At a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on October 8, Valérie Hayer, President of the Renew group, said Orbán turns Hungarian reality about immigrants upside down because he cannot fix problems at home.

Hayer noted that the number of people leaving Hungary is at a historic point. Last year, over 33,000 Hungarians left their country because of the economic situation.

“This is the highest number since teen years ago,” highlighted Renew’s President.

“They left Hungary not for Russia or China, but for Western Europe,” she emphasised.

Hayer explained this occurred “because Orbán cannot fix problems at home. He can’t find a solution for low wages. To fix bad education or poor job perspectives”.

“Orbán is scaremongering to avoid attention for his failing Home Affairs,” underlined Hayer.

    fascism has been proven to be bad for business time and time again. Yet all the fascist parties are sponsored by rich assholes who think they’ll somehow make more money under a fascist government. It just doesn’t make sense.

      Some of them will make money. Something that is bad for the national economy can still be good for someone’s private business.

        Sure… Until it isn’t.

        But for a brief moment they will thrive while the world around them burns, and I guess that’s what they live for.

        Crisis economics is all about scooping up distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. The rich have been profiting from nations failing since there have been nations.

      I 100% agree. It’s the same with all of these oil companies and environmentally damaging corporations. Do they really want a starving population with no resources? It’s not fun to be around. They’ll have to leave their gated communities at some point and people might storm the castle as well.
