Parliament authorises government to extend state of emergency until November
Lawmakers on Wednesday approved an amendment that authorises the government to prolong the state of emergency in connection with the war in Ukraine until November 19.
The motion passed with 135 votes in favour and 47 against.
According to the bill submitted by the justice minister, the law is aimed at managing the fallout of the war and the humanitarian disaster in Hungary.
The government first declared a state of emergency in connection with the war in neighbouring Ukraine in May 2022, and MPs have voted to extend it several times.
