he opposition Democratic Coalition will not support a government proposal to extend the current special legal order connected to the coronavirus epidemic, the party’s spokesman said on Wednesday.
 
Balázs Barkóczi told an online press conference that the effect of the relevant government decree was going to expire on May 23 after it had been extended by 90 days in late February. In line with a new proposal submitted to parliament, it is planned to be extended until the 15th day following the start of the autumn session in parliament, he added.

DK believes that the sole purpose of the proposal is
to maintain the “government’s unlimited powers”,
the spokesman said, and called on the government to “address people’s real problems” such as deteriorating econonomic indicators and growing prices rather than “cementing its own powers”.

Meanwhile, opposition Párbeszéd said it submitted a draft resolution to parliament on increasing orphan support for children whose parents have died from Covid-19. Párbeszéd is proposing that
orphan support should be increased to at least 100,000 forints (EUR 277)
retroactively from Jan. 1 for children who lost a working age parent to coronavirus, Bence Tordai, the party’s deputy group leader, told an online press conference.

The party is also proposing a one-off “reverence contribution” of 500,000 forints for families who have lost someone to Covid-19, he said. Tordai also said that the jobseeker’s allowance should be doubled and the period of eligibility for it should be extended to nine months.

He also called on the government to

“repeal measures that have made access to health care stricter”

and to introduce a so-called crisis managing basic income. Also, public employees should be earning the minimum wage and store and business owners should receive financial support to help them reopen, he added.

    Dobrev Klara and her party of D(umb) K(opfs) have – throughout this terrible COVID-19 pandemic – proven themselves to be nothing more than a disjointed group of ignorant ‘rabble-rousers’, whose only aim is to create as much confusion / chaos as possible within Hungary.

    The ‘state of emergency’ in this country will effectively continue until such a time as the D(i)Ks are completely ‘trounced’ at the 1922 election and their respective members reduced to nothing more than faint memories.

    Tоварищ(Tovarishch) Alfred , to be understood that you support fairness and democracy and you have absolutely no association with the Fid(esz) party and D(i)K-tator “V. Orbi”.
    You are right we need to support this great government and their efforts to change all the lows to help them win “democratically” the elections next year.
    Power to the people, in Hungary’s case to a few people.
    Also “sleep tight the government is watching over”, literately watching you , every move you make !

    Illiberal democracy. Creeping authoritarianism. Of course the government is watching over this partly free country, so are the Chinese! The youth vote will be interesting as he lost a large part of that in the last election. They are the new politicians of tomorrow …….
