Imre Komjáthi recalled that during the hunger march in 2012, a handful of people set off for Budapest on a freezing morning, as the government was then advertising the country that "Hungary is doing better", while in Borsod, poverty and misery were on the rise.
Imre Komjáthi, quoting the American author John Steinbeck, said that the price of having an exploitative system in power must be paid. For the sad soul kills faster than the germ. "Hungary has become a country of sad souls", the MSZP MP argued.
Most illnesses have a psychological cause, it is no coincidence that so many people die in our country, the mortality rate is high because the country lacks humanity, appreciation, care, safety and nurturing.
Before 2010, there were 1 047 labour inspectors working in our country, but nowadays there are only 300, which is why an explosion at the battery factory in Iváncza could kill our compatriots while they were working, and even poison the inspectors who arrived there.
While the government claims to be national, it is making Hungarian workers vulnerable, throwing them to the mercy of the big capital in the Far East.
The independent Ministry of Labour is a credit to Hungarian workers, who should be appreciated, as they are worth no less than their German, Swiss or Luxembourg counterparts.
The Alliance of Social Democrats and Greens will protect Hungarian workers. Imre Komjáthi said that he grew up in a world where Hungarian workers were respected and appreciated, while today they are looked down upon and ignored.
"The Alliance of Social Democrats and Greens can promise you what I can promise my six children: always a roof over your head, always a warm home. There will always be food on the table. No holes in your shoes, no wind in your coat. If you're sick, we'll nurse you, there'll be medicine for what ails you. You'll always be heard, you'll travel the world
You can be who you want, you can choose a life that makes you proud of your nation and your country proud of you. You can walk in the sky with confidence, because your community will be there to catch you, to hold you and to encourage you" - concluded the MSZP Co-President at the end of his speech.
