Top court approves referendum bid on NGO law

Hungary's Supreme Court, the Kuria, approved a referendum bid regarding the law on the transparency of non-governmental organisations in a binding ruling on Tuesday. The proposal was submitted to the National Election Committee by Barnabas Kadar, a board member of the opposition Momentum Movement, as a private individual. The question submitted for approval reads: "Do you agree that the National Assembly should annul Act LXXVI on the Transparency of Organisations Receiving Foreign Funds?" The Kuria's ruling overrides the National Election Committee's July decision to reject the bid.
