According to the decree, Hungary provided temporary protection to every person, regardless of their nationality, who resided legally in Ukraine before the start of the war in accordance with the provisions of the Asylum Act. [...] With regard to persons referred to [above], the aliens policing authority shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Council Decision, act in accordance with the general rules.” The contradiction lies in that the Council Decision requires that those non-Ukrainians who have valid Ukrainian permanent residence permit and cannot return to the country of origin shall be eligible either for EU law. [...] At the same time, the systemic shortcomings of the general asylum system in Hungary make it virtually impossible for those people fleeing the war and who do not fall under the personal scope of TP in Hungary to seek protection in the country. [...] The time-limit set for the procedure of the expert authority shall be 10 days, therefore, the maximum duration of the procedure is 55 days. [...] If the beneficiary of temporary protection cares for a minor, they are entitled to use the services of nursery care and the services of the "Biztos Kezdet" children's home under the same conditions as Hungarian citizens.
