schema:articleBody	Hungarian rights groups warned Wednesday that government proposals to repeal controversial anti-coronavirus provisions are an "optical illusion" that do not "dispel fears" about a power grab by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Budapest submitted two bills to parliament Tuesday aimed at revoking rule-by-decree powers granted indefinitely to the nationalist premier in March. Orban argued that ruling by decree allowed him to respond quickly and effectively to stem the spread of the new coronavirus. Officials said that the special powers could expire June 20 if the bills are adopted by parliament in the coming weeks. But a joint statement by three leading NGOs, Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International Hungary and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee said the proposals are "unsuitable to dispel fears". "The promise to revoke the (anti-coronavirus special powers) and to terminate the state of danger is nothing but an optical illusion," they said. The latest government legislation proposes to enable the government to order a "state of medical emergency" that, according to the rights groups, could also lead to rule by decree without parliamentary control or time limit. It also seeks to remove a provision for parliamentary oversight of government measures from existing disaster management law, the groups said. "If the bills are adopted in their present form, that will allow the government to again rule by decree for an indefinite period of time, this time without even the minimal constitutional safeguards," they said in a joint statement. Legislation adopted in March was called "dictatorial" by Orban's opponents at home and abroad who fretted about the law's lack of time limit. Hungarian opposition parties and rights groups also accused Orban of abuse of power by issuing a raft of decrees not directly related to the pandemic to cement his rule. Budapest called the criticism a "slander campaign" and "fake news" and has demanded apologies from opponents since announcing its move to end the state of danger. EU member Hungary, with a population of almost 10 million, has reported 3,793 infections of the novel coronavirus and 505 deaths as of Wednesday. Growth in both numbers has been slowing in May while lockdown restrictions have been relaxed. pmu/jza/bmm
