Social policy
On 15 September 2022, the Hungarian government passed new abortion restrictions, with a mandatory ultrasounds bill, where women who are seeking an abortion will now be obliged to “listen to the foetal heartbeat” before they can have an abortion. This bill was lobbied for by the far-right Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) party.[1][2][3]
In March 2025, the Hungarian government voted in favour of banning the Budapest Pride, promising to impose fines on both organizers and participants who would attempt to attend the march. The Law passed by 136 votes to 27. Fidesz–KDNP, Mi Hazánk and Jobbik voted for the law.[4][5]
In April 2025, the Hungarian parliament passed constitutional amendments, it will protect the "right to use cash", mandate the existence of only two genders (male or female), and Hungarian citizenship of dual citizens may be suspended for definite periods of time. The Law passed by 140 votes to 21.[6][7] Fidesz-KDNP and Mi Hazánk supported the amendments.[8]
Foreign policy
In April 2025, The Hungarian Government announced it will withdraw from the International Criminal Court.[9]
In May 2025, the Hungarian National Assembly approved a bill to initiate the country's withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), marking Hungary as the first European Union member state to take such action. The bill, introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén, passed with 134 votes in favor, 37 against, and 7 abstentions.[10][11]
Schengen policy
On 5 August 2024, 70 members of the European Parliament officially requested that Hungary's membership in the Schengen Area be cancelled, because they felt that a recent Hungarian decision to open Hungarian visas to workers from eight countries, among which were Russia and Belarus, was contrary to the spirit of the agreement.[12]
Economic policy
On 6 June 2024, The Hungarian government bought back ownership of Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. The Hungarian government will own 80% while Vinci Airports will take 20%.[13][14][15] The Airport was sold off in 2005.
