Green party LMP welcomes farmland purchase ban extension

The extension of the moratorium will allow time to prepare a rural strategy targeting sustainability, Szabo said, and urged the government to start preparing without delay a policy for regulating rural land use.

    It is necessary to prevent and put an end to already started land speculation practices and the concentration of land ownership, Szabo said. The interests of local residents working on their land for a living must be protected and this is also in the interest of Hungarian consumers, she added.
