Breaking: Hungarian parliament approves new law concerning employment
Lawmakers approved legislation establishing a new category of employment for guest workers on Tuesday.
The legislation was approved with a vote of 135 for, 47 against and 10 abstentions.
The new rules allow labourers from countries outside of the European Economic Area to reside in Hungary for periods longer than 90 days as long as they can produce proper travel documents, have a place to stay, can cover their cost of living and comply with security requirements.
Guest workers may stay in the country for up to two years, with the chance for a one-year extension, and they may resubmit their application to remain in the country at the end of the three-year period.
The law allows the government to lay down detailed rules regarding guest workers, set annual thresholds and determine a list of countries from which guest workers may come by decree.
Parliament adopts national innovation strategy
Parliament on Tuesday voted to give the green light to a new national innovation strategy dubbed the Neumann János Programme, aimed at facilitating links between universities, research institutes, and the economy.
The nine strategic measures included in the package were designed to reinforce a knowledge-based economy through further developing existing institutions and launching new programmes, the ministry of culture and innovation told MTI.
Concerning details of the programme, the ministry said they would “put Hungarian research into an international orbit” and help innovative ideas in foreign markets. Innovative investments will focus on “healthy lifestyles, the green transition, digitalisation and security”, while researchers will benefit from predictable career models, the ministry said.
The programme will create scientific and innovation parks to facilitate cooperation between universities and businesses, and innovation support will be rolled out to communities in the Carpathian Basin, it added.
Under the new package, the Eötvös Loránd Research Network will be renamed Hungarian Research Network to ensure that the organisation is “easily and clearly recognised” in the international community, “contributing to enhancing Hungary’s popularity and prestige”, the ministry said.

This is a BREACH of Shannon.
Border Control – massive INCREASR of Border Control will be WITNESSED – in Austria, Slovakia, Serbia and Croatia.
It will RIGHTFULLY – the intensity intensify of BORDER Control, by these country’s.
Orban, this decision of HIS and his Government, another FATAL and DESTRUCTIVE policy that will have Horrendous ramifications on the already DESTROYED brand name of Hungary – inflicted by Victor Orban and his Government.
It will HAPPEN present work force the “lowly” rates of pay they are paid, will in mass numbers, get replaced by Guest Workers from “other” country’s, who will take the LOWLY rates of hourly pay, that in probability to them, from country’s from which they come as Guests, may appear a Gold coin offering.
WHAT protection to the presently EMPLOYED ?
Sweet Fuck all – the norm of Orban and his Government again SELLING us OUT – us Hungarians.
Don’t think the European Union will approve of this.
Could be another major cross on the Orban/Hungary file, that is already in the “Fires of Hell.”
It’s very MUCH designed to LOWER wages.
Sorry for present Hungarian Workers they will be heavily effected by this Orban Government decision.
Not good. It should have been restricted to the neighboring countries only. What’s going to happen is that the likes of Indians, Pakistanis, and others will come, by the tens of thousand, stay here the 2+1 years, use their family connection to get married to a long-term resident or set up some kind of a nominal job, and they’ll stay here permanently. What’s 100% sure is that almost none of them will ever go back home. That’s the playbook they’ve been using all over the Western world for decades.
Steiner Michael – your transparency, which is honourable on your behalf, in the commentaries you provide to DNH, a Member supporter of the Orban Club – hopefully you just do write your opinions, orally but that you go direct to your Political Party – Fidesz and lodge your disapproval to matters decisions that are making, that you are of disagreement.
This article subject matter has HORRENDOUS future ramifications on Hungary – SADLY.
