Opposition women lawmakers call for extending moratorium on forced evictions

Opposition women lawmakers are submitting a joint amendment proposal to parliament to extend a moratorium on forced evictions from the end of April until the situation of FX loanholders is settled. Independent Bernadett Szel told a press conference that their common aim was to prevent forced evictions based on unfair contracts which have been condemned even by the European court (CJEU). The Hungarian government has now nothing to do but enforce the decision and not allow anyone to be thrown out on the street, she added. Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, commented on the proposal at a regular press briefing saying that FX loan holders in difficulties should be distinguished from "those who refuse to pay their utility bills".
