Lawmakers voted on Tuesday to establish a Central Information Public Data Registry of key budget data of central and local government institutions accessible to the general public.
The draft amendment was submitted by the government with the aim of reaching an agreement with the European Commission over rule-of-law issues. The registry will contain key budget data of central and local government institutions and minority self-governments. The legislation also modifies rules to streamline legal procedures in cases where the provision of public information is contested.
The law was passed with 128 votes in favour, 23 against and 12 abstentions. Commenting on the vote, Judit Varga, the justice minister, said that the government “will continue to work to ensure that the Hungarian people get the resources they deserve”. “The motion voted today will speed up and increase the efficiency of legal proceedings launched to obtain data of public interest,” she said in an English-language post on Facebook.
