Péter Magyar: The Tisza Party would continue the Hungary Helps program
Péter Magyar, president of the Tisza Party, recently announced that his party would maintain the Hungary Helps program if it were to come to power. According to the politician, the initiative plays an important role in Hungary's international relations, which is why they intend to continue supporting foreign aid in the future.
The goal of the Hungary Helps program is to provide humanitarian and development assistance to communities living in crisis zones, particularly in areas affected by the persecution of Christians. Through the program, Hungary supports, among other things, the renovation of schools, hospitals, and churches in the Middle East and Africa.
Péter Magyar emphasized that they aim to make the support more effective and want to make the use of funds more transparent. According to the leader of the Tisza Party, international aid is not only a moral obligation but also increases the country's diplomatic weight in the world.
The announcement is also noteworthy because the program has been one of the current government's flagship foreign policy projects to date. Political analysts believe that with this move, the Tisza Party is signaling to voters that it strives for continuity in certain matters representing national interests, even after a change in government.
According to the opposition party's plans, they would place greater emphasis in the future on direct support for local communities and addressing the root causes of the migration crisis in countries of origin. Further details on the future operation of the program are expected to be shared in the coming months.
