Opposition Calls on Fidesz MP to Step Down for Voting While Allegedly Infected With COVID
Fidesz representative Zsolt Becsó was reported to the authorities by leftist green party Párbeszéd and the centrist Momentum Movement after voting in Parliament despite being infected with Covid. His vote helped Fidesz win the two-thirds majority it needed to pass a bill outsourcing most of Hungary’s universities to foundations.
Zsolt Becsó had no sense of taste or smell on April 27, the day that the government was set to vote on transfering the majority of Hungary’s public universities to foundations, but he went to vote on the bill anyway. After testing positive for Covid, he was sent into a mandated home quarantine.
