Why this matters

The 'Samsung case' likely refers to a significant public or political issue involving Samsung, possibly related to investments, environmental concerns, or labor practices in Hungary. The boycott of an extraordinary parliamentary session by ruling party MPs indicates a strong political disagreement and an attempt to avoid public debate on the matter, potentially signaling government sensitivity or a desire to control the narrative around the issue.
