The European Migration Network discussed our initiative

On March 26 Marcell Lőrincz was a guest speaker at EMN meeting in the building of Ministry of Interiors. Mr. Lőrincz described the project “Fostering immigrants’ political participation in nine EU countries” and presented the idea, how Hungary shall give more rights and opportunities to foreigner communities to be more active in the political life. Granting a wider electoral right, running advisory bodies and supporting NGOs would cause a more integrated immigration in Hungary and despite the current political communication about immigration Subjective Values Foundation promotes a more welcoming atmosphere for the newcomers.

Both the participants and the organisers welcomed these ideas and ensured the project about their support. SVF belives that the cooperation between EMN and the NGO will work on a higher level in the future.
