While the opposition voters, who are so sensitive to public money, were in packed rows to the name of the great lady of real estate privatization and tax evasion with hundreds of tricks, Klára Dobrev's latest announcement on church affairs seems to have been lost due to the terrible election excitement - Francesca Rivafinoli begins her article on the Vasárnap.hu portal.
"The church is the new stadium" - Her grandson Apró about the new Makovecz Church in Pesterzsébét, stating that "stadiums should be built by sports clubs and churches should be built", because how can one invest in such things, "but when the stone crumbles, and the iron rusts, the person stays here and received nothing from the Orbán government".
If I understand correctly, according to Klára Dobrev, it is unnecessary to renovate, among other things, the Cistercian abbey in Bélapátfalv, built in the 13th century, because its stone is crumbling; the double family allowance that the state would hand out to each unfortunate alcoholic would serve the long-term prosperity of our country to the last penny.
Of course, this stadium playing is good from the start. Anyone who has mastered the process of division can easily determine that the large-scale church renovation program whipped up by the DK, within the framework of which 1,400 churches in Hungary and 400 in the areas beyond the border are renovated and thus preserved for posterity, costs exactly HUF 2,638 per person. It hurts us so much that masons, tilers, painters, electricians, restorers and other craftsmen are struggling for a fair wage in 1,400 locations across the country, who then go into the shop and pump up to 27 percent of their salary, which is sometimes received instead of aid, back into the budget in the form of VAT.
So when Klára Dobrev promises that the money poured into the churches by Fidesz she would spend on the people, then we have to think about this HUF 2,638 per head - with this she would give us a huge gift, she would put this 7.5 euros in our pockets.
But, of course, there may be those who, as atheists, ask for even a single tax forint to be used, for example, to restore a downtown main parish church, and would rather have watched with interest for a few more decades as a historic building slowly decays in the middle of Budapest, on the banks of the Danube. However, if the principle is that the church buildings are financed entirely by the faithful - so that, for example, the static reinforcement and roof replacement of the church in Bélapátfalva are solved by the Catholics living at the foot of Bél-kő - then it is incomprehensible why the Opera season ticket holders do not throw in the money for the Opera House for renovation, and cyclists for the construction of bicycle paths. Or why Józsefváros provides discounted premises for the Labrisz Association - let the lesbians pay.
