The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) slammed the planned nationalisation of fertility clinics, saying that Hungarian couples were “fleeing abroad” anticipating an overwhelmed system and too much red tape.
Judit Földi Rácz, the party’s board member, told an online press conference that even though the “ban” on private fertility clinics will come into force next summer only, “masses of Hungarian couples” were already checking in at foreign clinics. She described the decision to nationalise clinics as irrational and outdated, reflecting a “medieval approach”. The state will not be able to fulfil the task and Hungarian couples “know that under state care they could end up having to wait for years,” she said. Should a change of government take place in 2022, all families will receive the support that “the Orbán government robbed from them in the past more than ten years,” Földi Rácz said.
