Otherwise, the Hungarian government declared a state of emergency yesterday due to the war in Ukraine, which came into force at midnight.

In a video posted on Facebook a few hours after parliament passed an amendment to the Constitution, which cites conflict, war or humanitarian catastrophe in a neighboring country as reasons for adopting such a measure, Orban said the war in Ukraine poses a threat to Hungary, physical safety of its citizens, energy supplies and financial security of families and the economy.
