Hungary is planning to offer citizenship to any foreigner who buys at least £200,000 of its government’s bonds.
Legislation would grant residency and ultimately a Hungarian passport... allowing the holder to live and work anywhere in the European Union.
The move, backed by the ruling party, is aimed at wealthy investors, especially from China.

Radical proposals: The Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where legislators are considering issuing bonds to foreign investors in exchange for citizenship

Hungary has billions of pounds of foreign currency debt maturing in the next few years and needs to find ways to refinance it.

Budapest has asked for help from the EU and the International Monetary Fund but talks are dragging on and analysts see only a 50 per cent chance of a deal.

The citizenship scheme calls for the debt management office to issue special ‘residency bonds’ to foreigners.

Holders of at least a quarter of a million euros of Hungarian debt would get preferential immigration treatment.

'The goal of the modification is to create the institution of ‘investor residency’ in Hungary,' the lawmakers who put forth the legislation wrote in their proposal.

‘The proposal ties gaining citizenship to buying bonds because it intends to aid state financing this way.

‘Other investments from those applying for such residency could boost the real estate, retail and investment markets.’

Mihaly Babak, a lawmaker with the ruling party, said: ‘The Chinese have articulated repeatedly that we should help their Hungarian investments.’
Public debt in Hungary is equivalent to about 80 per cent of its annual economic output and households also are struggling with a mountain of foreign-currency debt.

HUNGARY'S DEBT

• Hungary is currently in recession – its GDP contracted by 1.2 per cent in the first half of 2012 and is expected to fall by 1.5 per cent over the full year, according to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
• Many of Hungary’s local governments have warned they could be bankrupt by early next year. They have $5.5 billion of debt – the highest level among the EU’s eastern nations
• The country is in discussions with the EU and IMF over a financing backdrop

One of the authors of the proposal said Chinese investors were specifically targeted.
Tory MP Priti Patel said: 'This is a shocking abuse of EU membership by the Hungarian Government and highlights one of many flaws in the EU and in the way it operates.
'This policy could pose significant challenges for the EU when it comes to immigration, social and economic policies and will do little to restore any trust and confidence in the EU with the British public.'
Tory MP Ian Liddell Grainger said: 'At the end of the day this is not the way to encourage investment. It never has been and it never should be. All you do is undermine your institutions.
'It is up to them what they do. But dare I say it it is not a very clever way of doing it.'

Afghan woman's slow, agonising death after husband slit her throat 'because she let their children live Western lives'

• The 53-year-old was conscious for five minutes as she choked
• Doctor said she could not even scream because her voicebox had been slit
• Her children were allowed to dress and socialise as they pleased, which infuriated her husband, prosecutors said

An Afghan man slit his wife's throat and stabbed her repeatedly while she choked on her own blood - allegedly because she allowed their children to lead 'Western lives'.
Randjika Khairi, 53, remained conscious for five minutes but was unable to scream because her voicebox had been severed, a Toronto court heard.

Her husband Peer Khairi, 65, has pleaded not guilty in Ontario Superior Court to second-degree murder.

Culture clash: The immigrant couple lived in a highrise Toronto apartment block, but argued over how their children should behave

No one disputes that Khairi inflicted the injuries, only the circumstances and his state of mind.
Crown prosecutors Robert Kenny and Amanda Camara allege Khairi killed his wife of 30 years over cultural differences.

He wanted to make their six teenage and adult children follow traditional Muslim Afghan practices, but his wife infuriated him by allowing them to dress and socialise as they liked, prosecutors claim.
Khairi’s second eldest child, Giti, told the court her father was angry she spent most weekends with her fiance at his parents’ home, according to the Toronto Star.
The 29-year-old said her father felt adrift in Canada after moving there in 2003, and was illiterate and unable to speak English, the National Post reported.
His children were going to the mosque and praying less often, the court heard, while the 65-year-old was battling health problems, having survived a brutal car crash and attempted suicide in February 2008 - a month before the death.

He phoned 911 after the stabbing, telling the operator his wife had been murdered. Police arrived at the couple’s highrise Toronto apartment to find her lying on a blood-soaked narrow bed in the living room.
Dr Allan Hunt today told the court that Mrs Khairi’s neck was slit down to the spine, severing her carotid artery and jugular vein and almost decapitating her.
Blood then rushed to her airways, causing her to slowly suffocate.
Five additional stab wounds, to her chest, abdomen and back, bled much less than normal, suggesting they were inflicted several minutes after blood started gushing from her 10-centimetre-long neck gash, he added.
The doctor said there was so little blood left in her petite 5ft 1in body that it was difficult to gather enough for forensic testing.
Khairi showed no emotion in court as he looked at horrific photographs of the deadly, gaping wound he had inflicted upon his long-time wife, the Toronto Sun reported.

He glanced nonchalantly at the images, nodding to his Dari interpreter when he was finished looking at them.
The doctor agreed with defence lawyer Christopher Hicks when he suggested that injuries and bruises on her body were consistent with being attacked from the front and held down on the bed by her attacker.

The pathologist also agreed she appeared to have defensive cuts on her left forearm and hand, consistent with fending off a knife.
The trial continues.

Notice: KOFMAN, OSCAR SAM MD, FRCPC, FACP. Dr. Oscar Kofman died at home yesterday at age 89 after a long illness. He is survived by his beloved wife and partner in life H. Joyce Kofman (nee Frankel) with whom he shared an extraordinary 62 year marriage of adventure and love. He leaves behind four children who, with their partners, adored him: Barbara (Ted Percival), Betsy (John Bascom), Jim (Elske Kofman), Jeffrey (Michael Levine) of London, England. There was a very special place in his heart for his six grandchildren: Samantha and Graeme Ash, Michael and Dr. Karen Bascom, and Joshua and Gregory Kofman. He was predeceased by sister Virginia Kane, and brothers David and Dr. Sydney Kofman. Oscar Kofman was fast- tracked through medicine at the University of Toronto during W.W.II and went on to do Post- Graduate studies in neurology in Philadelphia and London, England. He returned to Toronto in 1951 as one of the first five fully-trained neurologists in Canada. He established the neurology services at Mt. Sinai Hospital and later Scarborough General while simultaneously serving on the neurological staff of The Toronto General Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children. In a 50-year career that paralleled the growth of neurology he conducted seminal studies of treatments for Parkinson's Disease and two major studies on the impact of mercury poisoning on native populations in Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec. In his more than 40 years of teaching he was one of the longest-serving faculty members in the history of the University of Toronto School of Medicine. While he was dedicated to his career, he made it very clear that his family was his most significant legacy. He lived every minute of every day of his life to the fullest and days before he died he told his family he was content. His family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Fenton and his dialysis nurses Fay, Rose and Carmen who cared for him with tenderness and professionalism for more than four years.
