Child protection shortcomings back in focus of Hungarian domestic politics 😔

The child protection system in Hungary is under scrutiny following the arrest of Péter Pál Juhász, a former juvenile detention facility director, for human trafficking and abuse. The government, led by Fidesz, faces criticism for its handling of child protection issues, with calls for reform and accountability. Despite some government admissions of past mistakes, opposition parties are pushing for inquiries into systemic failures. Recent developments include a proposal for increased funding for child protection, which was initially voted down but later saw a commitment from the government for additional financial support.
