The government will submit the law package on law enforcement for social consultation

The Hungarian government plans to submit a law package on public safety for social consultation before presenting it to Parliament. Interior Minister Gábor Pósfai stated that the proposed changes aim to enhance public safety and improve the efficiency of law enforcement agencies. Key modifications include adjustments to police duties, service conditions, and disaster management operations. Firefighters would regain their name usage rights, and the number of leadership levels would decrease. The proposals also emphasize community preparedness and involve volunteer rescue organizations. Additionally, the law would allow for expedited legal proceedings for traffic offenses identified within 48 hours. The military would assist in facility security tasks to relieve police duties.
