Hungarian House Of Parliament May Pass Budget December 23
- 15 Sep 2010 2:00 AM
"Parliament could pass next year's budget on December 23, it was announced after a meeting of the House committee. Prime Minister Viktor Orban will address the House before regular business at Monday’s plenary session. Tributes will be paid to the Hungarian soldiers who died in Afghanistan recently, and to the late Democratic Forum MP Gyorgy Banffy.
The House will meet on Monday and Tuesday and will reconvene after a two-week recess on October 4, after which weekly plenary sessions will be held.
Parliament will reach a decision on establishing a commission to nominate members to the media council of the National Media and Communications Authority and on setting up a Public Service Public Foundation on Monday.
The following day Speaker Laszlo Kover will pay homage to the international day of democracy, when a general debate on the year's final accounting will also be held.
Socialist deputy caucus leader Jozsef Tobias proposed that Parliament should not hold a two-week recess before the local elections, because “there are many bills to debate”.
Meanwhile deputy prime minister Zsolt Semjen will almost certainly deliver a political assessment at the Fidesz-Christian Democrat caucus alliance meeting behind closed doors in Tapolca, Veszprem county today.
Kover and Fidesz caucus leader Janos Lazar will address the caucus alliance’s legislative tasks."
