Emergency powers in Hungary

That this House notes Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian Government’s exploitation of the covid-19 pandemic to put in place emergency powers that effectively undermine democracy and the rule of law in Hungary; stresses that any emergency measures must be temporary and proportionate, denounces the actions to suppress human rights and expresses its concern for the rights of transgender people and other vulnerable groups in Hungary; calls on the UK Government to take every opportunity to challenge the actions of the Hungarian Government.
