The aggressive behavior of the president of TISZA - appearing with bodyguards, banging on doors - and lying are what the competent ministry is trying to protect the children from.

Attila Fülöp, the State Secretary responsible for care policy at the Ministry of the Interior, was the current guest of Hír TV Napi, where Péter Magyar's scandalous behavior at the Miskolc children's home was discussed the other day. As is known, the press obtained a video recording of which

the president of the Tisza Party is visibly and audibly behaving aggressively and nervously, and is trying to get out the back door of the orphanage by shouting.

“I want to go out the back! Now I'm starting to get angry again! For the last time, I want to go out!” Magyar yelled at the children's home workers.

In connection with the visit, the chairman of the Tisza Party reported that he found "rotten, broken rooms and locked refrigerators".

However, according to Attila Fülöp, this does not correspond to reality at all.

As he put it: the Hungarian government is doing everything it can to take care of young people in the child protection system. The state provides the resources and provides everything so that the children can stay safely and in good conditions in these institutions.

"It is important to be able to talk about child protection, even if it is difficult (...) there is no grace or limelight in it, but rather grayness and mental difficulties, since it is about the child whose own family is unable to take care of it , to raise and take care of, it must be highlighted with a decision due to compulsion," explained the state secretary, according to whom two things can be done in this case: either in an institution or with another family, the given child must be provided his care.

All our efforts are to replace family with family instead of family, i.e. to strengthen foster parents - he stated, and then he added that he is proud of the fact that the current government has done the most for the domestic foster care system so far. Because nearly 70 percent of the above-mentioned children currently live with foster parents. Attila Fülöp also underlined that the goal is of course 100 percent.

The state secretary responsible for care policy also emphasized that many developments have been made for children in institutions, which serve the purpose of ensuring the safety and comfort level of the children living in the institutions.

Although the state secretary believes that, of course, there is still room for improvement in the field of institutions and the work invested in them.

"Out of 23,000 children, a total of 6,500 belong to state maintenance, the rest to church or civil organizations. The state operates such infrastructure - residential homes or children's homes - at 472 locations. This is obviously a legacy of previous decades. We are making progress in renovating and making them better, but there is always a backlog and we always need more money and resources," said Attila Fülöp, who

Péter Magyar's aggressive behavior - appearing with bodyguards, banging on doors - and lying are exactly what they are trying to protect these children from.

"It is also my duty to protect the colleagues who work in these institutions. Don't be nervous and tense about who is going to break down the door on them. They must be protected from this political show," the state secretary firmly underlined.
