DK: PARLT WELFARE CTTEE LACKS QUORUM

 

A meeting of parliament’s welfare committee on Thursday lacked quorum for the third time, with government MPs staying away, committee head Zoltán Varga of the Democratic Coalition (DK) said. The meeting had been convened by the ruling parties, he told a press conference, adding that the meeting could not discuss DK’s proposal to raise pensions retroactively from January 2022, and to allow pensioners a one-off payment of 100,000 forints (EUR 254).
