Breaking – government to extend the state of emergency in Hungary!
Deputy PM Zsolt Semjén submitted a bill extending the state of emergency in Hungary until June 2022 because of the coronavirus epidemic. He argued that the government needs the extension because of the growing number of new infections.
Foreign citizens, attention!
If the parliament, where the government parties have a supermajority, accepts the bill, the following measures remain in effect – 168 óra said.
- Official documents issued between 11 March, 2020, and 3 July, 2020, or 4 November, 2020, and 31 May, 2022, will remain valid even beyond their expiration date.
- Residence and permanent residence permits expiring until 28 February, 2022, will remain valid until 30 June.
- University students do not need a language exam to get their degree.
- No by-elections can be organized until the end of the state of emergency.
- Meanwhile, the general elections will be held.
Do Hungarian authorities hide the most crucial COVID data?
Today PM Viktor Orbán said that the government is committed to its “endless” fight to keep public utility prices low and the upcoming elections will not change those efforts, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at a ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of the Nézőpont Institute on Wednesday – MTI reported. “There is us who reduced utility fees and work to keep them low and then there are others that say that it is not reasonable and we should let the market regulate,” the prime minister said. He warned that if the principles in “liberal textbooks” became government practice the cost of living could rise.
Government continues the fight
Highlighting Nézőpont, Orbán said that the pollster
“usually predicts the results correctly”
in view of the past three general elections.
Speaker: parliament never lost control over the government during the pandemic
On another subject, Orbán said that the period after former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány’s contested 2006 “Őszöd Speech” was “an era of lies” and quoted George Orwell as saying that “telling the truth in such an era is a revolutionary deed”. Nézőpont, founded in 2006, therefore,
“could well be considered a revolutionary organisation,
which dared to say that two and two made four when everybody else trumpeted the opposite,” he said.

That’s convenient. It means that the government can limit or ban public rallies by the opposition parties in the run up to the general election under the guise of Covid measures.
It is an emergency. That is what it is.
It will all end when the people (not the government) say “enough is enough”. Not one day before, not one day after.
It is NOT an emergency. It is collusion and control. The longer the people stay asleep and allow their government to run wild the longer this “emergency” will last. Tell me any government who once having control over you and your undivided attention through fear, will willingly give it back, especially if it is allowing them to stay in control. NONE!
Like the (I think) Romanian MP stated recently.
When you know everything about your government – this is Democracy.
When your government knows everything about you – this is Tyranny.
Karl,
Worried for your ” State of Mind.”
Do I read into your comments, that if my interpretation, my thought process is correct and in line to yours, that you are amongst ,numerous “other” people/human undertakings – suggesting – People Power are going to Right – this EMERGENCY – – in Hungary that we ALL are Living in and part of ???
Sincerely trust – if my alignment of thought, reading your comments is in your way of thinking, you are NOT suggesting – Public Gatherings or Utca walks of Demonstration and “other” widespread possibilities that arouse excite a base of society, to take POWER into there hands to fix this Emergency ?
You know the History of such human lead expression of objection to Governments through – Demonstrations or “other” – which have over-all in history – deepened and worsened situations Governments and its Citizens, and deepened divisions within there Relationship.
Very interested for you to EXPAND – “It will all end when the people (not the government) say “enough is enough”.
History has numerous examples of those who profess to speak for the people only to end up murdering them by the millions.
Norbert,
Anarchist talk like these people. They pretend to speak on behalf of people but the people are least of their concerns. Elected governments represent the people with occasional referendums to decide major issues. Referendums are the closest thing to direct democracy today. At the time of ancient Athens, democracy was exercised through public gatherings but in case of emergencies, even they would appoint someone to lead them. This pandemic is a real emergency but we still managed to keep our democratic institutions intact.

People like us really have humanities best interest at heart. We are loving and peaceful. Humanity and freedom is at the heart of what we say. When we say that we the people need to stop this we are not making reference to ourselves, alone. We are speaking predominantly to you … yes YOU. You see … when you finally wake up to what is really going on, we will sit back and allow YOU to do what needs to be done and I promise you … YOU will. At some point the great awakening will happen … it has been promised by GOD and GOD never lies.
