After six years, special legal order ends in Hungary

After six years, Hungary's state of danger has ended, which allowed the government to make quick decisions without parliamentary approval. Initially proclaimed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and extended in 2022 due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Fidesz-KDNP majority kept it in place for an entire term. The new government, led by Tisza, requested an extension to avoid legal chaos, but the outgoing government chose not to extend it. The new parliament elevated emergency decrees to law, including measures for farmers and price caps.
