Planned Referendum on Budapest Hosting Olympics Ruled Unconstitutional
- 20 Dec 2024 5:52 AM
The Constitutional Court said on its website that "the reason for the annulment is that the Kuria's interpretation of the referendum question being unambiguous goes against the constitution, with special regard to its timing".
MOB turned to the Constitutional Court in late November asking it to annul a November 12 decision by the Kuria, and not make it possible for a referendum to be held ahead of time on a proposal to organise the Olympic Games.
MOB said on its website that its aim was to ensure that a decision on an initiative for organising the Games should only be made after thorough preparation, information gathering, public debate, and knowledge of the facts.
