Parliamentary Prison Division: What can and cannot a parliamentary representative do while behind bars?
Fidesz considers Hankó Balázs a political prisoner, rejecting the idea of restoring his mandate. He was detained on suspicion of embezzlement related to the NKA case, causing significant financial damage. The court has ordered his detention for a month, and he is currently held in a prison. Seszták Miklós, also arrested on the same day for bribery, is in custody as well. Neither can participate in parliamentary sessions, but Fidesz feels secure with its majority. The KDNP party does not see the need for a mandate change despite the implications for their representation. According to parliamentary law, representatives must actively participate in legislative work.
