Decision Made with Regard to a Proposed Referendum on Euthanasia – Hungary Today

The National Election Office (NVB) has rejected the joint referendum initiative of the opposition party Momentum and Dniel Karsai on end-of-life decisions, reports Index and Magyar Nemzet.

Dniel Karsai himself was not allowed to participate in the vote on the first two questions after Tams Fazekas, a politician of the Prbeszd party and member of the NVB, declared bias on his part. Due to health problems, Karsai was unable to participate in the vote in person.
