I hate to get all political, but it is actually astounding what is happening in Hungary right now, and nobody is noticing as we all focused on our own problems. It has been sliding to dictatorship over the last few years anyway, but CV19 has enabled it to go further. Hungary is in the EU!

Hungarian Parliament passes bill that gives PM Orbán unlimited power & proclaims:

- State of emergency w/o time limit
- Rule by decree
- Parliament suspended
- No elections
- Spreading fake news + rumors: up to 5 yrs in prison
- Leaving quarantine: up to 8 yrs in prison

Who is working from home then?

I hope everyone is still fortunate enough to be on full pay and or receive government hand outs to keep them a float

I do contract technical work so I was already working from home before this all happened. However, business may be drying up for the company I do work for, so I'm very uncertain what will happen with my position.

Here in the U.S. it seems they're not doing as much to help people who end up without work. Fortunately I have some put aside for a rainy day, but I'll still be sad if this means there won't be enough for Ibiza at the end of the summer. ?

Yes I am gutted about Ibiza....even if the issues gets resolved (which I doubt) not sure I can afford to go anyway as my bonuses if any are not what it was
 
I will have to make a decision in about 3-4 weeks. Previous booking for May/June is not going to happen, obviously.

I am lucky as I have two options. Buying 12 months in advance, the airline moved my flight around (pre-virus) so I can play with dates with no cost to me. Airline will allow for changes in flight date (or dodgy voucher), so I am looking to gamble and pick a date in mid/late August or September 2020.

My reasoning:
-The voucher is only valid thru 12/31/2020.
-reBookings only go though March 2021
-I really want to travel to Ibiza

We do realize this is a gamble and Spain has the right to tell me and any other travelers we are not welcome until the government determines the pandemic is deemed over. This trip would be for a full month, but I would likely skip the trip if my family was forced to a 7-14 day quarantine.

Again, I am leaving this until mid-April to decide. We are not huge clubbers, so any remaining restrictions on large capacity venues would suck, but not necessarily ruin a holiday.

If they cancel the flight they have to refund you the cash do they not ?
