Govt submits bill on reintroducing 'special legal order'

Hungary's government has submitted a bill to parliament that would reintroduce the "special legal order" in connection with the coronavirus epidemic, Csaba Domotor, a state secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, said on Thursday. In a video message uploaded to the official government website, Domotor said the special legal order needed to be reintroduced because the virus was spreading widely across Europe, including Hungary. Timely decisions are needed in order to save lives, he said.
