Interpellations (1865-2022)

The Interpellations (1865-2022) dataset contains information about each interpellation introduced ever in Hungary until 2022. The brief list of sourses is from the official website of the Hungarian National Assembly (http://parlament.hu/).

 

The presentation of the interpellation by the MP is followed by the ministerial response, and the reply of MP. The plenary session vote whether to accept the ministerial answer or, alternatively, redirect the question to a committee for further examination. Interpellations and their text must be submitted days before presentation.

 

The database includes the following main variables: the title of the interpellation (complete_title), the name of the introducer (introducer), the date when the interpellation was introduced (date_introduced), the policy topic of the interpellation (majortopic and subtopic), the name of the respondent (respondent) and the decision of the National Assembly if the minister’s answer is accepted or not (passed).
