Csaba Sógor's campaign-2009

The purpose of the Nagyszalonta Children's Home is to save Hungarian children, said Mária Pál, director of the home, on Friday, as she was showing European Parliament candidate Csaba Sógor around the institution. The children's home run by Franciscan priest Father Böjthe was created from old army barracks purchased and renovated for this purpose, and currently accommodates 67 children from 6 families. Csaba Sógor reminisced about the years when he personally arranged for the Keresztúr Orphanage to be converted into a children's home, the second in the country.
The mayor of Nagyszalonta, László Török, said the town was thinking about building flats for young people in order to encourage those raised in the children's home not to leave the town but to find work and settle down here.

Csaba Sógor said that protecting our children and creating a secure home for them is one of the most important tasks there is, not just in Transylvania but throughout Europe, while reminding everyone that between 2001 and 2007 close to 20,000 children had disappeared from the countries of the EU, of whom just 500 have been found.
