Orban will give severance pay to the orphanage "Good Samaritan" in Transcarpathia

Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced that he will donate his severance package of more than 100,000 euros to the Good Samaritan orphanage in Transcarpathia, Ukraine, where the Hungarian national minority lives. He wrote about this on May 16 on the social network Facebook (the owner of the Meta company is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned).

"I am donating my severance pay to the Good Samaritan orphanage, which is maintained by the Transcarpathian Reformed Church," he said.

Orban denied the statements of the new Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar about the looting of the country and the lack of severance pay. Orban listed the achievements of his government over the past 16 years, including an increase in the country's gold reserves.

In addition, he published a copy of a letter addressed to the director of an orphanage in the village of Velika Dobron, Uzhhorod district, Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, requesting donations. It is specified that it was sent from Budapest a day earlier.
