Bálint Ruff initiated a three-day extraordinary meeting

The government has initiated an extraordinary parliamentary session for next week to discuss the 2027 budget and related legislation. Minister Bálint Ruff proposed that the Assembly convene on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to review the budget bill and its foundational proposal. Additionally, the session will address a cooperation agreement between Hungary and the USA regarding civil nuclear energy and a report on Hungary's military involvement in the EU-led ALTHEA peacekeeping operation in the Balkans. The budget proposal, submitted at the end of October, allocates more funds for education, healthcare, and defense, while maintaining similar support levels for churches and sports. It also aims to improve the situation for local governments and save billions in public media costs.
