Before the session's agenda items were discussed, Gyula Kovács also spoke, addressing the drought and the need for water retention. He warned that the drastic drying already occurring in 2026 is no longer merely a distant threat or a statistical figure, but an emergency situation. According to published information, a scientific council is addressing the water situation. HVG ↗
On the same day, members of parliament also decided on further proposals. Parliament approved wider access to documents referred to as agent files, a topic also linked to the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Hungarian revolution and freedom fight of 1956. It also passed a bill abolishing the so-called relief loan intended for Budapest, by a vote of 135 in favor, 1 against, and 51 abstentions. Index.hu ↗
The session thus combined several politically sensitive points, ranging from education through historical documents to the financing of the capital city. The decisions adopted are expected to further feed into political debate among government MPs, the opposition, and Budapest's leadership. Telex ↗
