Hungary's Gov’t To Augment Expropriation Rights
- 3 Jun 2013 9:00 AM
Fidesz MP István György, a deputy mayor of Budapest, filed a motion on Friday to expand the state’s power to expropriate properties. The need to find space for the offices and homes of MPs and official persons designated by Parliament would be sufficient justification for acquiring private properties.
The requirement to show that the benefit to the public interest exceeds the loss to private interests would be lifted.
In addition, the bill would take away the power of courts to suspend such confiscation in the event of a legal challenge by the owner.
