Hungarian parliamentary parties discussed the recent counter-terrorism measures.
The two-hour meeting between Hungary’s five parliamentary parties (Fidesz, KNDP, Jobbik, MSZP and LMP) to debate the government’s planned counter-terror measures were “constructive” according to Gergely Gulyás, deputy chairman of Fidesz in the parliament. While there were “disputed points” regarding certain issues, parties’ representatives saw eye-to-eye on the objectives. The Ministry of Interior is awaiting proposals concerning the new legislation, which is to be debated by the government at a Wednesday cabinet meeting, from opposition parties. According to Mr. Gulyás, there is a “good chance” of the cabinet submitting a proposal package to the National Assembly that will have opposition parties’ support.
