The law enforcement package will be subject to social consultation

The Hungarian government is initiating a public consultation on the proposed law package aimed at enhancing public safety and internal order. Interior Minister Gábor Pósfai announced that the changes will improve the efficiency of law enforcement agencies, including adjustments to police duties and conditions of service. The proposal includes restoring the name usage for firefighters, reducing leadership levels, and enhancing community preparedness. Additionally, border guards would assist police with various tasks, and there would be changes to leave policies for law enforcement personnel. The package also suggests faster judicial processes for traffic offenses and longer retention of police footage.
