Peter Magyar prepares Vatican visit as heatwave threatens water supply

Peter Magyar announced that he is planning a visit to the Vatican, including a meeting with the Pope, as part of his diplomatic agenda. In a press briefing he also warned that a severe heatwave is putting the water supply of more than 2,000 people at risk and called for emergency measures.

He revealed that the government will provide a 100,000‑forint school‑start grant to eligible families and confirmed the appointment of a new national hospital director. The announcements were made amid broader discussions about flood control, corruption investigations and public‑sector reforms.

Magyar’s statements link the Vatican trip with domestic policies aimed at mitigating the impact of the heatwave and supporting families during the summer months.
