Hungary's Orbán-Era State of Emergency Ended, PM Magyar Says
Magyar says ending decree rule restores normality as Hungary summons Russia’s ambassador after a drone barrage that killed at least six people.
- On Thursday, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced the end of Hungary's wartime state of emergency, terminating decree-based rule introduced six years ago under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
- Parliament passed a new law converting emergency decrees into permanent legislation, preserving payment moratoriums for farmers and capped fuel prices of HUF 595 for petrol and HUF 615 for diesel.
- Marking a shift in tone, Hungary summoned Russian ambassador Evgeny Stanislavov on Thursday after Russia fired at least 800 drones at Ukraine, with strikes hitting Transcarpathia on Wednesday.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the summons as an "important message," while Magyar condemned the attack as a "common threat" to Ukraine, neighbouring countries, and Europe.
- Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orb warned she would press the Kremlin on when Vladimir Putin plans to end the four-year conflict, as the attack killed at least six people.
