Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday secured the right to rule by decree after his Fidesz party passed a law in parliament granting him open-ended extra powers to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

ADVERTISING

The legislation extending a state of emergency has triggered criticism from opposition parties, human rights groups and the Council of Europe, Europe's main rights forum, as it contains no timeframe.

It also imposes jail time of up to five years on those hindering measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus in Hungary and on those spreading false information related to the crisis.

Rights groups said this could be used to muzzle journalists....

Orban has said the epidemic was expected to peak in Hungary in June or July and flagged economic stimulus to be announced next month. Hungary has 447 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and 15 deaths.
