The “crushing” of the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (OPNI) 13 years ago was a great sin, Finance Minister Mihály Varga said on TV2’s Mokka Friday morning.
Mihály Varga, Budapest II. and III. the Fidesz member of Parliament recalled that OPNI was abolished by the Gyurcsány government in 2007; the more than 130-year-old institution employed nine hundred people and operated with about 850 inpatient beds.
He added that the building, which is the second largest in Hungary after Parliament, has been empty since then, although there were many plans to use it.
They are thinking of an international high school.
The government recently decided that the 39,000-square-foot building, which covers 41 acres, should serve long-term educational purposes. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó, was commissioned to prepare the establishment and operation of the Central European Education Foundation, he explained.
Mihály Varga drew attention, now the Hungarian economy is in a position to “delineate” that goal.
Levente Magyar, the parliamentary secretary of state for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said in the program that they want the educational institution to start operating in 2023.
We want to create a school here that is of high regional quality. He emphasized, adding that they were thinking of an English-speaking international high school.
He also spoke about plans for students between the ages of 14 and 18 from all over the region to come to study here, mainly from the Visegrad countries.
It also means that all students can study in their own language in addition to English, the secretary of state said.
