Lázár Calls On Opposition To Back Anti-Terror Measures
The parliamentary parties should unite to pass the necessary laws enabling the army and police to take joint steps to ensure security in the country, János Lázár, the government office chief, said.

The ruling Fidesz board is scheduled to discuss the issue on Friday and decide whether to hold a national consultation in connection with the terrorist threat, he said, adding that it was important that society should express its opinion and encourage the opposition parties to support amending the constitution.

The opposition should understand there are considerations that lie beyond short-term party political interests, Lázár said, adding that he keenly supported holding a national consultation or referendum on the issue.

In response to a question put to him concerning the decision to allow 170,000 migrants into Europe, under German pressure, without registration or any kind of controls, Lázár said this was the biggest security mistake made in central Europe in the past ten years.

He noted that Viktor Orbán, the prime minister, will address parliament on Monday before the spring session commences, and then travel on to Prague for the Visegrad summit.
