The local kindergarten and the associated mini-nursery in Kétújfalu, Baranya county, were modernized with a subsidy of almost HUF ninety million. The government commissioner responsible for the development of modern settlements handed over the investments made from the framework of the Hungarian Village Program and other development sources on Friday.
In his welcome speech, Alpár Gyopáros emphasized that one of the main goals of the Hungarian Village Program is to save villages from extinction and at the same time create their future, i.e. help with housing, childbearing, and ensure health care, including child health care.
He said: while under the left-wing governments they did not pay attention to the support of small settlements, on the other hand, a real "village destruction" took place, the Orbán governments give priority to Hungary's villages, with all their measures aimed at increasing the number of children, thus increasing the population.
As he said, the number of people living in Kétújfalu has increased again after many years of decline, thanks to the development resources, government subsidies, investments of the Hungarian Village Program and the village tax, for example.
He recalled: in the last three years alone, within the framework of the Hungarian Village Program, more than two thousand kindergarten improvements were implemented in Hungarian villages, worth more than twenty billion forints.
The government is still committed to supporting the villages and the people living in the villages, so in the future there will be nursery and kindergarten constructions, expansions, health institutions will be renovated and established, there will be infrastructural developments, and playgrounds will be built in the small settlements - listed Alpár Gyopáros.
Csaba Nagy (Fidesz), the region's parliamentary representative, said: in the framework of the Hungarian Village Program in West Baranya, which he represents, in recent years support worth about twenty billion forints has been received for families, municipalities and churches.
He added: he is confident that, thanks to the government subsidies, many tangible developments will be realized in the future, both in Kétújfalu and in the small villages of Baranya in the electoral district as a whole.
Gyula Klózer, the independent mayor of the settlement located southwest of Szigetvár, on the border of Baranya and Somogy counties, announced that the development was implemented as part of the ten-year development concept of the village. Within the framework of all this, in four years from other development, government, state and local government sources, roads were renewed in Kétújfalu, among other things, the sports hall of the settlement was developed, a new shop was created, a playground was built, that is, the settlement underwent significant development, he emphasized.
For the modernization of Napraforgó Óvoda, Mini Kindergarten and Kitchen in Újfalu with four kindergarten group rooms, the government provided about forty million forints as part of the Hungarian Village Program, while thanks to the Territorial and Settlement Operative Program, the energy efficiency development of the building could be completed with almost 48.5 million forints.
