Hungary opposition parties submit joint anti-epidemic proposal

The parliamentary groups of opposition parties are submitting a joint proposal for measures to help the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic, the parties' representatives said on Monday. Laszlo Varju of the Democratic Coalition (DK) told an online press conference held jointly with Jobbik, Parbeszed, the Socialists and LMP that the government was "clearly unable to stop the spread of the virus and handle the crisis". The opposition parties' 11-point proposal includes free-of-charge mass testing for all Hungarian citizens and emergency government assistance to pensioners and families raising children, he said.
