Patriots Group Denounces Brussels’ Silence Over Magyar’s Institutional Offensive in Hungary
MEP Jorge Buxadé accused the European Parliament of applying the rule of law selectively after years of pressure against Viktor Orbán.

MEP Jorge Buxadé accused the European Parliament of applying the rule of law selectively after years of pressure against Viktor Orbán.

The new government “is crossing every boundary—human, moral, and rule-of-law. Hungarian voters did not give a mandate for this,” ex-PM Viktor Orbán wrote.

“The Constitution should be the limit of power, not its instrument,” the prominent Hungarian watchdog warned.

“It’s not just about [President Sulyok’s] rights. Only fair trial can guarantee that none of us is ever at the mercy of the authorities,” the watchdog said in a statement.

The constitution of Hungary was amended to prevent the five-time conservative prime minister from returning to power.

The Hungarian PM himself has submitted an amendment to the amendment to the Basic Law sumbitted to parliament by his brother-in-law.

Hungary’s new administration has unveiled constitutional amendments that include permanently barring Viktor Orbán from returning as prime minister.

Péter Magyar has won power but also inherited the constitutional logic that defined the country for a third of a century.

“We are launching a review of Hungary’s constitutional system; we will strengthen the system of checks and balances, and we will propose a limit on the number of terms a prime minister can serve,” the prime minister announced in his first remarks in his new role.
In recent years, millions of dollars have been funneled into Hungarian civil society groups and media outlets with clear ideological agendas.
