Hungary’s family policy is one of the most generous in Europe but liberal opponents of the country’s controversial PM, Viktor Orban, don’t give him much credit for it. He is opposed to making up Hungary’s long-term population decline through immigration; instead, he says he wants to increase the country’s population.
Not everyone approves. A couple of years ago, the Swedish minister for social affairs, Annika Strandhäll, said Hungarian family policy “reeks of the 1930s” and would “harm the autonomy for which women have struggled for decades”.
