Melléthei-Barna Márton urged KDNP's Juhász Hajnalka to resign from her committee membership

The parliamentary committee investigating the crisis in child protection began its session with a call for resignation from a member due to controversial statements. Discussions highlighted significant staffing shortages and challenges in the child protection sector, with many positions unfilled and high turnover rates among workers. The need for better funding and structural reforms was emphasized, as well as the increasing number of reports concerning child welfare. Experts pointed out that without substantial salary increases, retaining professionals in this underfunded sector will remain difficult. The committee also reviewed the situation of children left in hospitals, confirming that many cases were justified based on expert assessments.
