Under a decision issued by the government’s working group in charge of the special legal order, the emergency powers of mayors granting them the authority to perform the functions of local assemblies will expire on June 15, Gergely Gulyás told MTI.

The prime minister on Saturday will sign an amendment to the legislation governing the powers of local assemblies, which will be published in the official gazette Magyar Közlöny over the weekend, he added.

“With the return to normality, we consider it important to ensure that local councils are allowed to resume their normal operations,” Gulyás said.
