Parliament autumn session to pass bills on 2013 budget, election law, civil code

Parliament in its autumn session will pass the new election law, civil code and land law, as well as the 2013 budget, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in parliament on Monday.

Opening the new session after a summer recess, Orban said lawmakers would complete the restructuring of police and the new public administration system.

He proposed the setup of the office of a new ombudsman for finance, based on a British model.

He also proposed that a working group should be established at the economy and farm ministries to prepare the economy for the boom in food prices expected this autumn.

“At the end of the autumn session Hungary will be close to having a state that fits needs in every part of life,” he said.

“The situation in global agriculture is serious and threatening,” Orban said, adding that tension and even conflict could ensue in many parts of the world.

    Orban is a brilliant hard working Christian Prime Minister. Hungary and Hungarians are most privileged to have him! The rest of you, with your petty comments and bad demeanor, must wait your turn and it will be a long, long wait! Ha, ha, ha. God bless Orban Victor!

      God bless him alright…

      The key question for the weeks ahead is after the approval of the cornerstone figures of the 2013 budget what the cabinet will be willing to modify or what can it change in it at all. And it will be also interesting to see how much of the HUF 600 bn hole (2% of GDP) it will try to plug and how enthusiastically it will work on this remedy.

        Not unique to Hungary for deficits almost all countries have, eh?

          What is a little different in Hungary is that the gap was perfectly apparent when the original budget was passed. And that since it was passed further unfunded expenditure has been promised, thereby making things even worse. One can only wonder what state this country would be in if there were not outside bodies looking at the figures and trying to instill some common sense.
