Parbeszed submits amendment proposal for referendum on Fudan campus

Opposition Parbeszed has submitted to parliament an amendment proposal to the law governing referendums in Hungary with a view to changing a provision on deadlines, the party's group leader said on Monday. The amendment would scrap the provision which bans holding a national referendum within 41 days prior to a parliamentary election, Timea Szabo told an online press conference. Parbeszed submitted the motion with the aim of ensuring that a national referendum can be held before next spring's parliamentary election on the issue of whether to prevent a property transfer to the planned campus of China's Fudan University in Budapest.
