Jobbik initiates referendum aimed at preventing parlt trigger of Hungary's potential EU exit

Opposition Jobbik has initiated a referendum aimed at prohibiting parliament from approving a decision that could lead to Hungary's exit from the European Union. The referendum question, submitted by Jobbik leader Marton Gyongyosi as a private individual, reads: "Do you agree that parliament should not be allowed to support a proposal or motion that could result in Hungary leaving the European Union?" The will of the people is crucial when it comes to an issue of this magnitude, which can only be expressed through a referendum, Gyongyosi told a press conference before submitting his question to the National Election Committee on Monday.
