The opposition LMP is turning to the Kúria, Hungary’s supreme court, over the election committee’s rejection of its referendum question on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the party’s co-leader said on Friday.
Last month, the National Election Committee (NVB) rejected LMP’s referendum initiative on whether greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by 65 percent by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, citing incompatible timeframes regarding the legislative agenda and the timeframe included in the question.
Erzsébet Schmuck told an online press conference that Hungary needed to act immediately on the issue of climate change, insisting that “the only way [ruling] Fidesz will act is if we, the people force them to”. She criticised the NVB for rejecting her party’s referendum bid “for bogus reasons”.

warning of worsening global warming. According to the report, world governments need to act immediately on climate change or they will never get another chance, she said.
She said the Hungarian government’s pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030 was “inadequate”. Citing scientific studies, she said the European Union, including Hungary, needed to reduce its emissions by 65 percent this decade in order to avert a climate disaster.

“Though this is a serious challenge, there are no other options,”
Schmuck said. “Either we take these steps or risk the survival of our civilisation.”
Schmuck said the Hungarian people had a right to express their opinion on such an important issue. If the Kuria backs the bid, the people will get to have their say in a referendum, and if it doesn’t, they will have the chance to express their views in the general election next spring, she said.

So you believe that climate change is man made? I guess you folks missed the classes in science that taught about solar activity having real impacts on the climate as well asthe earths semi eliptical orbit around our sun? Human activity has little to no effect on our global sea levels and weather. You gorebots can scream all you want about climate change but no politician or government can change the climate of our planet. If you fools want to donate money for carbon taxes just no it will only enrich the bank accounts of politicians and a few bankers.
Does the Prime Minister – Victor Orban :
(1) – Believe in Climate Change ?
(2) – Does he not agree in the global scientific data AVAILABLE – that global warming is actually occurring ?
(3) – Does he not in the personal examination of his own conscience – that Hungary is part of this Global Warming process ?
(4) – Does he YES or No – think the summers of Hungary are not warmer than when he came into office or was born into this World ?
Fidesz – does not embrace FACT that Global Warming is HAPPENING.
Citizens – if they choose and that are worried about the future of Planet Earth – should take the Fidesz adopted position – into serious account – when they vote at the up-coming National Elections May 2022.
Caritas, open your eyes and stop being a usefull idiot.
