Regarding the critics of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that the Government listens to everyone, but will not give up Hungarian national sovereignty.

In relation to the constitutional regulation of homelessness, the Prime Minister declared that everyone agrees in Hungary that the local governments and central state must have certain tools available with which they may act against disadvantageous and dangerous behaviour directed towards other people. He added that the state and the municipalities maintain and make available more accommodation than the number of homeless people.

Touching upon the new regulation of the family concept, the Prime Minister said that it is more extensive than the current one set by the Civil Code, so „it is not about tightening but extension”.

Viktor Orbán considers a new constitutional passage an important contribution to the European constitutionalism because it includes that the enjoyment of the right to freedom of speech cannot do harm to the dignity of other people, the Hungarian nation as well as national, ethnical and religious communities.

According to the Prime Minister, if there is no cooperation between the Government and public utility companies, the Government will further pursue the reduction in utility charges so that prices are decreased to under the European average. The Government would like to cooperate with service providers with regard to further reductions in utility charges. He added that the collection of signatures initiated by the Fidesz party is similar to a referendum and it is necessary to unite the country so that we may protect the reduction in utility charges we have already achieved and make further progress.
