Hungary's Parliament meets to elect new constitutional judge

Hungarian Parliament constitutional judge extraordinary session Magyar Péter transport law

The Hungarian Parliament (Országgyűlés) convened a two‑day extraordinary session on Monday, beginning at 13:00, with Prime Minister Magyar Péter delivering the opening speech. During the sitting members will elect a new judge to the Constitutional Court to replace Hende Csaba, whose mandate has expired. The election will be held by secret ballot, requiring a two‑thirds majority of MPs, and the judge will serve a nine‑year term.

In addition to the judicial appointment, lawmakers will resume debate on the transport‑law package that was postponed a week earlier, consider amendments to the agriculture‑risk‑management act that would allow pre‑payment damage‑mitigation, and discuss a bill to establish the National Asset Recovery and Protection Office aimed at reclaiming illegally transferred public assets. Further items relate to Hungary’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, including measures to boost wind‑farm investments and a series of tax reforms affecting public‑interest foundations, cultural heritage projects and local taxes.
