Three party groups agree on constitutional amendment bill text
Budapest, October 26 (MTI) – Fidesz, its ruling ally Christian Democrats and opposition Jobbik have agreed on the text of the constitutional amendment bill, though some “political issues are still outstanding”, Fidesz group leader Lajos Kósa said after four-party talks on Wednesday.
The green opposition LMP said it would decide later on whether to support the amendment, Kósa added.
Kósa said the text of the constitutional amendment bill “is the result of compromise and incorporates everybody’s proposals”. Only some political issues remain and these will be resolved at meetings between the party groups, he added.
The Jobbik party earlier said that cancelling the scheme would be the precondition for its support to the constitutional amendment.
Fidesz, however, maintains the two issues are not linked and the residency bond scheme is only a financing issue, Kósa added.
