Touted as Hungarian model, the policies introduced under conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban to incentivise couples to have children are once again in focus during the bi-annual Budapest Demographic Summit, where Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is one of the speakers.

"We have to make sure that family-friendly, conservative powers take over in as many European countries as possible," he adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
