# Hungary declares a wartime state of danger after the invasion of Ukraine

Date: 2022

On 24 May 2022 the government declared a 'state of danger' citing the war in Ukraine, extending decree rule after the COVID emergency scheme. Parliament later authorised the special legal order. This Fact is that dated emergency. It is not the 2020 COVID authorisation taken alone, not the 24 February invasion as a Ukrainian fact, and not a personality. Official text is the government decree; Reuters is the independent contemporaneous file.
