The parliament may discuss the budget at an extraordinary session next week

The Hungarian government has initiated an extraordinary parliamentary session for next week to discuss the 2027 budget and related legislation. Minister Bálint Ruff proposed that the National Assembly convene on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to address the budget proposal and a cooperation agreement with the U.S. on civil nuclear energy. The budget is projected to forgo 1.5 trillion HUF in income tax revenue due to tax credits, creating a significant budget gap. The government is also facing scrutiny for not adjusting pensions and utility subsidies. Health care plans outlined in the budget include reorganizing primary care and improving hospital services.
