Hungarian Government Proposes Extension of War Emergency Situation
The government seeks to prolong the state of emergency in response to the ongoing Ukraine conflict until November 14, 2025.
The Hungarian government has proposed an extension of the state of emergency declared due to the war in Ukraine for an additional 180 days, setting the new expiration date to November 14, 2025. This measure is part of a legislative amendment introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén, which was submitted late on Tuesday.
The rationale provided for this extension highlights the humanitarian situation stemming from the ongoing conflict, stating that it has created conditions not seen since World War II. The government asserts that this humanitarian crisis, in addition to significant changes to the European economic landscape, necessitates the continuation of effective and rapid national responses to these challenges.
The last modification to the law concerning the consequences of the armed conflict and humanitarian disaster in Hungary was made in November 2022, which had previously prolonged the state of emergency.
Since March 2020, Hungary has experienced a series of crisis situations, starting with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the state of war emergency was declared in Hungary.
Prior to the expiration of the last extension, the government had also renewed the 'mass migration crisis' state of emergency in early September of the previous year.
