It took two years, but it turned out: the Fidesz government lied about the prescription requirement for emergency contraceptives.

The Fidesz government misled the public regarding the prescription requirement for emergency contraceptives, as revealed by recent statements from health officials. Andréka Péter, president of the Health Professional College, confirmed that the previous government, under pressure from Rétvári Bence, did not abolish the prescription requirement despite expert recommendations. This issue gained renewed attention following Prime Minister Magyar Péter's announcement to remove the prescription requirement, aligning with European practices. Investigations into the matter showed discrepancies between Rétvári's claims and the actual expert opinions, indicating a political decision masked as a professional one. The controversy highlights the tension between political and medical authority in health policy decisions.
