'State of Emergency' Prolonged in Hungary
The Hungarian parliament on Tuesday assented to prolonging the government’s state of emergency for another 180 days till May 13 next year.

The justice ministry's proposal was passed with 127 votes in favour and 56 against.

In its proposal, the ministry referred to the war and humanitarian disaster in Ukraine and the war's ramifications concerning the European economy.
