The supreme court Kúria will decide on Tuesday whether to pass another referendum question about the same topic which was submitted last year in order to prevent the Socialists from submitting their question, Zoltán Lukács said. The question is “completely unintelligible” and was “submitted only to stall the issue”, Lukács added.

It would be surprising if the Kúria passed the “incorrect question” and once it is void, a new question can be submitted, he said.

The question approved by the NVB last year was submitted by a private individual and is the following: “Do you agree that retail shops should be allowed to stay closed on Sundays?

” Earlier, the Kúria upheld a decision by the NVB to reject referendum questions on the same subject. The opposition Socialist Party submitted referendum questions several times to the NVB, in an effort to lift the restrictions on Sunday shopping.

Their questions were rejected on procedural grounds.
