Extraordinary Parliamentary Session: Important Decisions
Lawmakers will weigh a new Constitutional Court judge and bills tied to Hungary’s recovery plan, public transport and renewable energy goals.
- Hungary's Parliament convenes Monday for a two-day extraordinary session, beginning with an address by Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Lawmakers may elect a new Constitutional Court judge to replace Csaba Hende, whose mandate has expired.
- The final vote on legislative packages was postponed last week after the European Commission proposed technical amendments. Magyar explained the delay during last Thursday's government briefing.
- Lawmakers will debate establishing the National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection to investigate public asset mismanagement. The agenda also includes tax changes, transport efficiency amendments, and repealing cryptocurrency conversion provisions.
- Other proposals facilitate wind power investments and advance payments for agricultural damage mitigation. The government argues current cryptocurrency and tax frameworks conflict with European Union internal market principles.
- The new Constitutional Court judge requires a two-thirds majority of MPs for a nine-year term, elected by secret ballot. This election replaces Hende and remains a key item on the agenda.
