We inaugurated the Mária Kopp promenade, located in one of the most beautiful parts of Budapest, among the hills of the Normafa area. Upon the initiative of Tünde Fűrész, President of KINCS, the Hegyvidék municipality renamed a part of Eötvös street, and from today forth it is dedicated to the inspiration of our institute. Mária Kopp was a pioneer of family-friendly thinking in Hungary, she and her husband started the Three Princes, Three Princesses Movement to support the birth of children and raising children.
In recent weeks, new plans to resettle migrants have emerged at EU decision-making levels, all the while the negative ramifications of misguided immigration policies have never been more evident. It has become very clear that migration is not the solution to Europe's demographic problems; despite the waves of large-scale immigration in recent years, the birth rate in Europe is falling and the number of children born to parents with immigrant background is also falling.
Parents gave schools a good report card, with more than 60 percent of the 130,000 respondents to a parent questionnaire giving their child's school a "4" or "5" (B or A grading), meaning they are satisfied with the teaching and learning work done there. The results were presented by the Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior in Budapest on Thursday.
The Maria Kopp Institute took part in the GombaszögSummer Camp, the 32nd Tusványos summer open university and camp in Bálványos Transylvania, the MCC Festival in Esztergom and Tranzit festival in Tihany.
Every Hungarian child is a treasure, wherever they are born in the world, according to 85 percent of Hungarians – among others, this was revealed by the most recent representative survey of the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). 83% of respondents believe that a common mother tongue and culture connects all Hungarians. The survey, conducted on a sample of 1,000 people, focused on issues related to Hungarians living beyond the borders.
Hungary stands for the protection of families. This has been our policy focus each and every day since 2010 - not just on the day of families," said Tünde Fűrész at a press conference on the occasion of the International Day of the Family. She added that the family is the smallest and most important fundamental unit of society, and something currently threatened by three factors: depopulation, the crisis of values - many people nowadays want to relativise the family - and the economic crisis caused by war.
