The Tisza Party will organize a major national event in front of Parliament on Kossuth tér to mark the inaugural session of the new National Assembly, prime minister-elect Péter Magyar announced on Friday.
According to MTI, Magyar confirmed that the party has proposed May 9 for the inaugural session, scheduling it on a weekend to maximize public attendance.
He also proposed that parliament elect the prime minister during the inaugural session, with the oath of office to be taken on the same day, a practice not seen since 1990. Magyar noted that his proposals had been accepted by the parliamentary groups.
Addressing the timeline, Magyar said Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, had agreed that ministerial hearings should begin no later than Tuesday following the prime minister’s election.
“We want to avoid an interregnum where I’m called prime minister but the Orbán government remains in place,” he said.
The future prime minister expressed hope for a return to substantive, professional political debates in parliament.
