There will be a public holiday on December 24 this year

The Hungarian Parliament made several decisions, including declaring December 24 a public holiday, allowing parallel environmental impact assessments, and extending the deadline for the unified registry of legal entities until January 1, 2029. They also approved the founding document of the Hungarian Radio and Television company and passed amendments to anti-money laundering laws. The declaration of December 24 as a holiday aims to provide a consistent legal framework for families celebrating Christmas. The amendments to anti-money laundering regulations will enhance transparency regarding private equity funds and require risk assessments for new products and technologies. The restructuring of public media was also confirmed, merging various entities into a new nonprofit organization.
