Election Committee approves government’s quota referendum

Budapest, February 29 (MTI) – The National Election Committee (NVB) on Monday gave the green light to a government-proposed referendum question aimed at thwarting the European Union’s mandatory migrant quota plans.

Citizens in the proposed referendum would be asked “Do you want to allow the European Union to mandate the resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens to Hungary without the approval of the National Assembly”. The question must still go through approval by the supreme court, the Kúria.
