Policy
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]
Schengen policy
On 5 August 2024 70 Member of 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 Russia and Belarus, was contrary to the spirit of the agreement.[4]
