Daylight Saving Time History in Hungary
-
Hungary first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1916.
-
Hungary has observed DST for 58 years between 1916 and 2019.
-
Previous time with no Daylight Saving Time was 1979.
Is the EU Getting Rid of Daylight Saving Time?
In 2019, the European Parliament voted to remove Daylight Saving Time in the European Union. More than 60% of the countries in the world use year-round standard time. The vote was passed and progressed to the European Council, but this is where it faltered.
The European Council has still not started negotiations as other issues, such as Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the conflict in Ukraine, complicated matters further. Thus, it seems unlikely that any changes to DST in the EU will take place anytime soon.
