100+ Police Buildings Closed in Hungary
A total of 112 buildings or parts of buildings used by police forces across Hungary were temporarily closed before November 15 until the end of the heating season, and 17 others were closed permanently, the website Alfahír reports, citing information received from the National Police.

Jobbik MP Zoltán Sas, chairman of Parliament’s national security committee, drew attention to the closures on Thursday.

State secretary Bence Rétvári said “the partial restriction will not affect the adequate performance of service duties, the maintenance of balanced public order and safety”.

Alfahír then turned to the National Police and made public the list of temporarily or permanently closing police buildings. It includes police stations, gymnasiums, libraries and dormitories.
