Hungarian SoS: Brussels Sends No Funds for Teachers' Pay Rise, Only Inspectors

EU inspectors have been investigating for months, down to individual bank transfers, how teachers' pay rise in Hungary has been implemented, the parliamentary state secretary of interior ministry has said. Bence Retvari underlined that the inspectors are investigating the use of a resource that Brussels has not even transferred. So, perhaps it's not without reason that people have the feeling that Brussels is constantly looking for ways to find fault and use it as an excuse to block the pay rise for both teachers and early childhood educators, he stated.

Finally, he called it a disgrace that Hungarian left-wing MEPs in the European Parliament were working not for Hungarian teachers, but against them. "They are even proud of the damage they are doing to Hungary. Change is needed in Brussels!" - State Secretary Bence Retvari emphasized in his statement.
