Alpár Gyopáros: the government subsidized village convenience stores with approximately HUF 60 billion
The government has provided HUF 50 billion for the infrastructural development of village small shops, and another HUF 8 billion for their operational support in the Hungarian village program, the government commissioner responsible for the development of modern settlements announced on Thursday in Ivánbattyán.
Alpár Gyopáros said at the handover of the local convenience store completed as part of the Hungarian village program: in the past, the villages were in serious danger, because the quality of public services deteriorated under the socialist governments, so – for example, due to the lack of shops, crèches, poor quality roads and sidewalks – among the villagers more and more people moved to cities.
He added: when the Prime Minister announced the program, he formulated the goal that this process should stop, if possible, reverse it, and at the same time improve the quality of life of the people living in the villages, and eventually reach or exceed that of the people living in the cities.
For all of this, public services must be improved, i.e. roads, public spaces, sidewalks, public institutions, kindergartens, medical offices, schools must be renovated or new ones built, he stated.
