Hungarian healthcare reforms and immunity updates

Overview

The Hungarian Parliament has passed legislation to restore mandatory professional chamber membership for doctors, dentists, and other healthcare workers, reinstating the mandates and duties of the Hungarian Medical Chamber (MOK) that were removed in 2023. Lawmakers also voted to reintegrate correctional institutions into the child protection system and approved amendments regarding the management of certain Budapest public spaces.

Parliamentary immunity remains a central focus of legal proceedings. Following previous votes to suspend the immunity of Fidesz representatives Máté Kocsis, János Pócs, and Miklós Panyi, these members have now had their immunity suspended in relation to legal proceedings involving a child abuse case.

New requests for immunity suspension have also emerged. The Prosecutor’s Office has requested the suspension of immunity for Prime Minister Péter Magyar regarding an investigation into an incident where a mobile phone was allegedly thrown into the Danube. Additionally, requests have been made for Balázs Hankó concerning the alleged misappropriation of NKA funds, and for Miklós Seszták regarding alleged bribery in the Volánbusz case. Péter Magyar has publicly challenged these requests, characterizing them as a “political smear campaign” designed to conflate his situation with major corruption investigations.
