While a citizen of an EU nation is automatically a citizen of the EU, that does not make that citizen a citizen of all other member states. However, the EU demands that welfare given to citizens must be given to all permanent residents from other EU countries, as long as they have lived in that nation for a certain amount of time. So, families which have resided in Hungary for quite some time (longer than two years, I believe) must be given the same incentives as citizens.
Cue the screeching about muh national sovereignty.
Yeah, I mean, this has been the case for fifteen years, but it would be typical of them to start the screeching only now.
