Hungary 2026 extraordinary parliamentary sessions
Entities: Országgyűlés (Hungarian Parliament) · Schiffer András · National Asset Recovery and Protection Office · Magyar Péter · Csaba Hende
Overview
In July 2026 the Hungarian government convened a series of extraordinary sessions of the National Assembly. On 22 July, Prime Minister’s Office Minister Bálint Ruff announced the seventh such meeting since June, outlining an eight‑item agenda that included revisions to agriculture risk‑management law, the repeal of crypto‑asset exchange provisions, the creation of a National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, and transport‑sector reforms such as a national transport organiser and an independent rolling‑stock management company. Additional measures addressed energy commitments under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, tax adjustments, full disclosure of former communist state‑security activities, and terminology changes for “county” and “government commissioner.”
Five days later, on 27 July, the Parliament opened a two‑day extraordinary session to elect a new constitutional‑court judge by secret ballot, a role requiring a two‑thirds majority for a nine‑year term. The session also resumed debate on the transport‑competitiveness package after technical amendments were suggested by the European Commission, and revisited the agriculture‑risk‑management amendment, the National Asset Recovery Office proposal, and further Recovery and Resilience Plan‑linked initiatives such as wind‑farm investments and tax reforms. Interpellations and question‑answer periods were scheduled alongside the legislative agenda.
