Prime Minister Peter Magyar on Monday called on MPs to stand by investigators, prosecutors, police and tax officials and defend them from Viktor Orban.

The government will "significantly" raise the family allowance in 2027, and incomes for employees in the child welfare system will be increased by 20-25 percent by January, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said in an interview with public radio on Monday.
