Departing government members donate their severance pay to charity
Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced that, in accordance with a government decision, departing government members are waiving their severance pay. The politicians have decided to donate the entire sum they are entitled to for charitable purposes.
The beneficiary of the support will be a children's home in Transcarpathia. The purpose of the decision is to provide assistance to children in need who are living in difficult circumstances in the neighboring country.
At the press conference, the Prime Minister emphasized that the government members reached this decision by mutual agreement. This step draws attention to the importance of social responsibility, especially in the current difficult economic and political situation.
The support provided to the Transcarpathian institution could mean significant help for its daily operations and the care of the children. The news was received positively by the public, as the gesture provides direct assistance to those in need.
The donation process will take place over the coming weeks. With this step, government officials are concluding their term in office before handing over their positions to the members of the new cabinet.
