Hungary’s constitutional order under threat?

Ahead of the general election next spring, “statements threatening Hungary’s constitutional order and democracy are gaining traction,” forcing the leaders of institutions that protect it to take a stand, Ákos Kozma, Hungary’s ombudsman of fundamental rights, said on Friday.

“Respecting the rule of law and protecting our constitutional values … is our shared duty,” Kozma said in a statement. “Attempts to remove public officials unlawfully or to change the constitution by means that are contrary to the regulations … threaten the foundations of rule of law,” the ombudsman added.

While the pluralism of values and principles is an important pillar of democracy,

“certain requirements of the rule of law must enjoy full acceptance in society as a foundation of the democratic state,”

Kozma said.

The prime ministerial candidate of Hungary’s joint opposition has indicated that he would initiate a referendum on his plan to overturn Hungary’s constitution should he assume power.

I am more concerned about the violence from the anti-Hungarian opposition supported by Soviet EU, Soros and CIA than the anti-Hungarian opposition winning the election.
Fidesz-KDNP has a comfortable lead and it will increase in response to attacks from Soviet EU.
I will be a first time Fidesz-KDNP voter for Hungary.
Hungarian authorities must be prepared for violence supported by our internal and external enemies.
We must know who they are and neutralize them if they try violence.
