Hungarian Parliament Holds Extraordinary Session on Secret‑Service Disclosure and Teacher‑Evaluation Suspension

On June 22‑23 2026 the Hungarian Országgyűlés convened an extraordinary two‑day sitting without Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who was at the NATO summit in Ankara. The agenda covered a range of legislative items.

Lawmakers debated a bill to create a historical archive and advisory panel for examining the activities of the former socialist‑era secret services. A separate proposal sought to suspend the current teacher performance‑evaluation system pending a new framework.

The session also launched discussion of a constitutional amendment package that would set a 12‑year limit for parliamentary mandates, modify provisions on the president’s dismissal, introduce an age cap for constitutional judges and establish a National Asset Recovery Office.

Financial reforms included harmonising capital‑market legislation, amending the Magyar Fejlesztési Bank law to facilitate drawing EU Recovery and Resilience Facility funds, and repealing a loan measure intended to prevent Budapest’s municipal bankruptcy. Additional topics were the phase‑out of certain crypto‑service regulations, reforms to improve public‑transport competitiveness and the creation of a national transport‑organising body, and a bill to introduce pre‑payment options for agricultural risk‑mitigation schemes.

Key speakers included Transport Minister Vitézy Dávid, who opened the sitting, and members of the Tisza party who presented several proposals.
