Hungarian parties discuss changing referendum rules
Change language:
Budapest, March 8 (MTI) – The ruling Fidesz-Christian-Democrat parties and the opposition Jobbik and LMP parties on Tuesday supported an initiative to amend referendum rules.
Last week, LMP resubmitted a proposal on referendum rules in light of a recent incident in which a group of thugs prevented a Socialist MP from submitting a referendum initiative to the National Election Office.
The Socialists refused to attend the meeting, saying an investigation into the incident should come before cross-party talks.
Gergely Gulyás, who represented the ruling alliance, said the National Election Office comprising members representing all parliamentary parties would hopefully put forward its amendment proposal soon.
Gulyás, who is the head of parliament’s legislative committee, said the five parliamentary parties should consult to ensure that a vote on amendments takes place.
He said the ruling alliance was open to discussing LMP’s proposals on amending referendum-related campaign financing rules and provisions on ensuring equal opportunities, but would prefer to wait for the position to be formulated by the relevant body.
OK, sure the THUGS were present, but the RENDERSEG was NOT available!!! Are you F’ing kidding me? Really! So now there’s an investigation on some SISI-Liberal/Commie statement about, ooh! we weren’t allowed in because these big boys, were just too big for us. Nobody had a CELL phone to call for POLICE?! Are you Flippin kidding me???
Why are there 5 parties running in such a small country, when a country the size of Canada or the US only have on average 3 popular??
