Hungarian Police to Form National Command Ahead of Elections

Moscow (ANTARA) - The Hungarian National Police Headquarters will form a national command as well as operational commands for rapid response units and regional headquarters for the elections taking place on 12 April. “On election day, the police will form a national command as well as operational commands for rapid response units and the Budapest police headquarters and regions,” the Hungarian police stated in a statement on Friday (10/4). The police will carry out their duties with the necessary strength and resources and independently of any political party influence.
