The Programme of National Cooperation

26 May 2010

Prime Minister-elect Viktor Orbán submitted his new government’s program to Parliament.


"The winner of the general election is expected to do its job, to fulfil its mission," Orbán said in his introduction to the document. "Hungarian voters expect the winner to represent national unity and to fight all occurrences, forces or endeavours acting against that unity," the incoming prime minister added.

The programme draws up a list of five priorities named ‘national issues’: reviving the economy, public order, health reform, promoting social security and restoring democratic norms.

"Hungarian people want radical changes in all areas of life; they have not authorised us to implement just modifications or adjustments, but to build a new political, economic and social system based on new rules, through the power of national cooperation," Orbán said in his foreword.

Providing increased assistance to families, encouraging couples to have children and helping them buy and keep a home is a top priority of the programme. It is also important to improve the situation of the disabled, provide better conditions for the Roma minority and promote their integration in society, fight poverty in general and increase the level of services for the elderly.

The new government will eliminate the "anti-family character of the labour market" and ensure part-time jobs for parents of small children. Discriminatory practices impacting mothers will also be eliminated. "Employers are expected to ensure family-friendly conditions at the work place," the document says. "The achievement of families contributing to the prosperity of the nation and to the sustainability of a social market economy through raising children will get increased recognition," the programme adds.

The programme calls for restoring public order at a time when "public trust in the state and its institutions has dangerously thinned" and the abuse of public authority has reached an unprecedentedly high level. "It is a national issue and national interest that there should be order in Hungary, an order that ensures justice and protection to all citizens and that contributes to the prosperity of the nation through creating new political values," the programme says.
