Parliament withdrew its biennial honorarium of 4,413,600 HUF from Péter Jakab, the leader of the Jobbik faction.

The deputies approved the decision of the President of the Chamber, László Kövér, with 115 yes, 51 no votes and the presence of János Volner, former Mi Hazánk and former nationalist Imre Ritter.

Péter Jakab was punished for trying to hand over a sack of potatoes to the Prime Minister in the Parliament session on October 19, suggesting that government parties could vote with the potatoes distributed free of charge in the Tiszaújváros by-elections.

According to the reasons for the decision of the Speaker of the House, the behavior of members of Parliament, which violates the order and dignity of the National Assembly session and is aimed at attracting greater media attention, is particularly suitable to undermine public confidence in the functioning and decisions of Parliament. László Kövér considered Péter Jakab’s act such.

In accordance with Parliamentary Law, in the event of an act that seriously violates the authority of the Chamber or the dignity of the session, the President will reduce the Deputy’s salary by a minimum of 2 months of fees and a maximum of 4 months of fees. .

Péter Jakab first asked the immunity committee to overturn the president’s decision, who did not agree to his request, then he turned to Parliament, which also rejected his request.

“Fellow members, it is a shame that when a country is struggling with the crisis, it is having fun here by fining 4.4 million for a bag of potatoes,” said James in his post-vote speech, who said yes ” A gift, luxury yachts in the Adriatic He would have taken it to the Prime Minister, would he have accepted it? Then Jakab started talking about Orbán’s son-in-law, István Tiborcz, and Elios’s case, but then his microphone went off.

The vice president of Parliament, János Latorcai of the KDNP, first asked him to speak in the Regulation and then did not return the floor, writes Telex.

The parliamentary law was amended last December at the initiative of pro-government parliamentarians to punish parliamentarians who violate disciplinary rules more severely. In the most serious case, a member can be penalized with a deduction of 6 months.

Since the new rules came into force, the Speaker has imposed the highest fine on Peter Jakab. (MTI, telex)
