János Pócs was banned from the National Assembly for three sessions by Ágnes Forsthoffer

Pócs János, a Fidesz representative, has been banned from the National Assembly for three sessions due to disruptive behavior. This decision follows an incident where he attempted to cast a late vote during a session, which led to accusations of attempting to mislead the assembly. Speaker Forsthoffer Ágnes noted that Pócs has a history of disturbing parliamentary proceedings and has received multiple warnings. Despite acknowledging his lack of attention during the vote, Pócs denied any intent to deceive. The speaker emphasized that the ban reflects ongoing violations of parliamentary duties, although the recent incident did not affect the validity of the vote. Forsthoffer clarified the difference between a ban and exclusion from the assembly, stating that banned representatives cannot enter the building except for secret votes.
