Hungarian government launches subsidy scheme
A HUF 20-billion subsidy programme is being launched for the construction of workers’ housing, MTI reports, based on a statement by the Ministry of National Economy. In the next 3 years, 25-30 new workers’ shelters for 80-200 people could be built with the Hungarian government’s support. Businesses have until 30 September to apply for funding, Forbes reports.
The Hungarian government pledges that applications will be assessed under strict criteria “in line with the strict limits on the employment of guest workers”. These conditions include the following:
- foreign workers can only be accommodated in the newly created worker hostels if no Hungarian workers apply;
- at least half of the workforce in these accommodations will have to be Hungarian, which the ministry expects will “greatly facilitate the mobility of the domestic workforce within the country” and contribute to reducing labour shortages.

Welcome to “Globalization”. Oops. The Fidesz government will come up with a different term for what they are doing.
Filipinos are good hard working peopple. Welcome here to do the jobs that Hungarians don’t want to do or to fill in for the Hungarians who left the country for better paid jobs in the western EU.
