Orbán inaugurates new Constitution Protection Office building
Change language:
The modern Hungarian state needs a secret service, constitutional protection, national security agencies and every such institution and activity, the prime minister said, addressing the inauguration of the new building of the Constitution Protection Office (AH) in Budapest on Thursday.
In his speech, Viktor Orbán underscored the importance of protecting Hungary’s sovereignty, noting that this was primarily the responsibility of the country’s constitutional bodies and institutions.
Construction of the new building cost nearly 30 billion forints (EUR 90.0m), he said.
Orbán added that it had been a long time since the Hungarian economy had been in good enough shape, and since the state had the strength and ability, and the government the determination to be able to afford this kind of investment. The new building will house every unit of the AH under one roof instead of four different premises as it had been up until now, the prime minister said.
