Hungary Socialists demand assistance to people impacted by epidemic

Socialist deputy group leader Tamas Harangozo demanded government assistance to "those in trouble", at an online press conference on Thursday. Harangozo said the government's new lockdown measures, announced earlier in the day, were unavoidable, but urged provisions to ensure that parents staying at home with their children at a time when schools and kindergartens are closed should "not suffer from lost income or any other drawbacks". He also said that each family must be helped to equipment necessary for their children to participate in digital education.
