China News Service, Beijing, May 25th. Budapest News: According to Hungarian media reports, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban posted a video on social media Facebook on the 24th, saying that in view of the continued risks brought to Hungary by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Hungary will withdraw from the 24th. A state of emergency has been declared since midnight.
Orban said the Russian-Ukrainian conflict poses ongoing risks to "our physical security, energy supply, financial security of our families and our economy."
The world is on the brink of an economic crisis, Hungary must stay out of the war and must protect the economic security of the family.
For this, the government needs to be able to make decisions and act quickly, Orban said.
According to Hungary Today, hours before Orban's release of the video, the Hungarian parliament voted 136 to 36 against a constitutional amendment that would give the Hungarian government the right to take up arms in the neighboring country A national state of emergency is declared in the event of conflict, war or humanitarian disaster.
Under a state of emergency, the government can suspend the application of certain laws by decree, the report said.
Usually, the government cannot do this because laws are passed by parliament, so in the hierarchy of legal sources, laws are higher than government decrees.
However, during a state of emergency, the government may issue regulations that conflict with certain laws.
Orban said that similar to the state of emergency introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, it would be possible for the government to respond quickly and use "all available means" to protect Hungary and Hungarians.
