The state of war emergency will continue in Hungary even during next year’s electionsThe government has announced plans to extend the state of war emergency, according to a statement from the Government Information Centre on Tuesday. They explained that the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict on Hungary’s doorstep has created a humanitarian crisis unlike anything seen since the Second World War, while also reshaping Europe’s economic landscape. To manage this disaster and shield the country from the global economic fallout, Hungary must retain the ability to respond swiftly and effectively on a national level. The special legal measures remain essential given that the armed conflict and ensuing humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine continue unabated. The risk of the war escalating persists, and the combined effects of the conflict and sanctions place Hungary in an extraordinary situation.
