Socialists call for suspension of mortgage foreclosures

Foreclosures of property for people who default on their mortgages should be suspended in the situation developed due to the new coronavirus epidemic, head of parliament's welfare committee for the opposition Socialists said on Tuesday. The Socialists propose a payment of pension premiums and a pension increase with retroactive effect, Lajos Korozs told a press conference. Home care services and social support should be strengthened and in-person cheque payments at the post office should also be suspended, he said.
