The Minister without a Family Portfolio reported on an official Facebook page in a recent video that they plan to suspend the shopping bar for people over 65 at the proposal of the Council of Elders.
Katalin Novák They said members of the Council of Elders told them during their online consultation, on the one hand, that they were happy to be able to use the protected shopping time zone. At the same time, the members of the Council of Elders see tensions rising steadily between different age groups due to the shopping time slot, after more and more people are on leave and there is a growing tumult in the shops.
Therefore, it is proposed that in view of the Christmas period, at least the weekend, but even in its entirety, it is suspended from the protected shopping band.
I will send this proposal to the Prime Minister.
– Katalin Novák said in the video.

The public was first informed about the reintroduction of the measure from Katalin Novák’s Facebook video, which was posted by the politician on its official website. The Minister without a Family Portfolio reported that morning that he had spoken with members of the Council of Elders, for which he recommended that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán return to a commercial bar accessible only to the elderly.
