This Tuesday, the governing majority in Hungarian parliament assented to prolonging the government’s state of emergency for another 180 days till May 13 next year, MTI reports.
The proposal submitted by the justice ministry was passed with 127 votes in favor and 56 against.
In its proposal, the ministry referred to the war and humanitarian disaster in Ukraine and the war's ramifications concerning the European economy.
To tackle those impacts, Hungary needs to maintain its ability to come up with fast and effective responses, the draft stated.
The sstate of emergency allows Viktor Orbán's government to enact laws by decree, bypassing the requirement to get them across Hungarian parliament in which it has a two-thirds majority.
A crisis situation was first declared in March 2016 due to "mass immigration", then during the new coronavirus epidemic and then citing Russia's war in Ukraine.
