Coronavirus - DK pledges to call political leaders to account

Once a new government has come to power in Hungary, several members of the government in office will be taken to court for what they did or failed to do during the coronavirus epidemic, a lawmaker of the opposition Democratic Coalition said on Wednesday. Over the past few weeks Hungary has topped the global list of coronavirus-related mortality with its cases fatality reaching 20,000, deputy group leader Gergely Arato told an online news conference. Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Prime Minister's Office chief Gergely Gulyas, Human Resources Minister Miklos Kasler and Interior Minister Sandor Pinter will have to be taken to an independent court, Arato said.
