DK calls for doubling family allowance

The leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has said it will submit to parliament a bill on doubling family allowances. At a press conference on Monday, DK group spokesman Zsolt Greczy noted that the government had decided to double President Janos Ader's 1.5 million forint (EUR 4,480) salary based on the argument that the head of state's salary had been stagnant for 10 years.
