The opposition LMP and Jobbik parties vowed to implement an affordable rental housing scheme for working people if the opposition wins the 2022 general election.
LMP lawmaker Márta Demeter told a press conference that she would initiate a pilot project in Budapest’s 8th and 9th districts to provide affordable housing for low-income workers if she was re-elected. The opposition also wants to enable employers to contribute to their employees’ housing costs through in-kind benefits, she added. Demeter said it was “unacceptable” that young people were often forced to spend their income on rent.
Dániel Z Kárpát of Jobbik told the same press conference that unlike the current government, his party and LMP were concerned about the future of young people, “because everyone deserves a chance to prosper”. Ruling Fidesz, however, “is outsourcing our national wealth to asset management foundations”, Z Kárpát insisted.
