00:00The Hungarian parliament has suspended the immunity of Prime Minister Peter Maia
00:05as well as that of two former ministers of Viktor Orbán's previous government,
00:10Balazs Hanko and Mikloš Sestak.
00:13Monday's vote comes in response to a request last week from prosecutors
00:18seeking to investigate the three.
00:21Investigations have now been launched against the former ministers
00:24in connection with the corruption case.
00:39The Prime Minister's immunity withdrawal was requested in connection
00:44with an incident that occurred two years ago.
01:00Nem a magyar ügyészség 99%-ával van a baj, nem a magyar rendőrök, nem a magyar nyomozók,
01:05nem a magyar navosok munkájával van a baj, hanem a maffiát támogató vezetőikkel van a baj,
01:11akik felelni fognak természetesen ugyanúgy a tetteikért.
01:14Maia claimed in parliaments that he was the victim of an attempt to discredit him.
01:19A hétfői döntéssorozat után várhatóan hamarosan újra a parlament elé kerül a mentelmi jogok kérdése.
01:25Magyar Péter ugyanis kezdeményezte, hogy a közvárdas eljárásokra vonatkozóan
01:30az összes képviselő mentelmi jogát törőjék.
01:33At this special session, the ruling party majority did not vote to confirm the president's nominee
01:39for the position of chief prosecutor.
01:42Following the decision, Andreas Bacca held a press conference where he expressed his disappointment.
01:48He noted his nominee had not even been granted a hearing before adding that he respects the parliament's decision.
01:56A mérce és a módször nem változott, a egyeztetés továbbra is ki van zárva,
02:01politikai egyeztetés nem történik majd.
02:05Olyan legfőbb ügyét fogok keresni, aki szakmaiak felkészült,
02:08képes egy nagy és összetett szervezet vezetésére,
02:12és az ügyészség szükséges megújítására,
02:16a működésébe vetett közbizalom helyreállítására.
02:20The Hungarian president said he would nominate a new candidate for chief prosecutor as soon as possible.
