Much of the liberal media is claiming that Hungary's state of emergency is a grab for power but these claims are dramatically short on facts

A number of false or sensationalistic claims are being circulated within the media about Hungary's extension of its state of emergency, which has seen the Hungarian government granted special powers to fight the coronavirus crisis.

On Monday, the Hungarian Parliament approved an extension of the state of emergency in Hungary, which was initially authorized to last only 15 days. The "Coronavirus Bill" is meant to help the government react quickly to the coronavirus outbreak.

Since its passage yesterday, a number of media reports are promoting misleading information, with EU Observer writing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been granted "indefinite authoritarian power" while others have even openly smeared Orbán as a "dictator" for implementing legislation that is similar to other measures taken in many other European countries.

The media is wrong about Orbán having unlimited power

The preamble of the law makes clear that Hungarian parliament can only take necessary emergency measures "to prevent and respond to the human epidemic of COVID-19." In short, it is being put in place explicitly for the government to react to the coronavirus outbreak.
