Fidesz's group leader expects that they will have the two-third majority for the success of the constitutional amendment. LMP is still undecided.
A compromise can be achieved to secure the two-thirds majority support required for the planned constitutional amendment to block the application of European Union migrant quotas in Hungary, Fidesz group leader Lajos Kósa told public channel M1 on Wednesday. He said that the consultations between Fidesz, its governing ally KNDP and opposition Jobbik resulted in an understanding that changes are necessary to the original amendment proposal against the relocation of foreign populations in respect of several technical details.
Further consultations are planned between the parties, the plenary debate is planned to be held next week. Opposition party LMP has not yet decided whether to vote in favour of the amendment. “This means that the Socialists and LMP continue to put the matter of Brussels quotas beneath party-political considerations”, state secretary Csaba Dömötör said.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced after the referendum on migrant quotas that he would propose a constitutional amendment “to incorporate the will of the people into the fundamental law”. He submitted it to the parliament on Monday.
