Summary/Abstract: This study examines the relationship between the coronavirus epidemic and the ombudsman in Hungary. Its main claim is that the COVID-19 epidemic exposed the shortcomings of the Hungarian Ombudsman institution. On the one hand, the constitutional changes in 2011 adversely affected the institution, and therefore, the political environment from which the pandemic erupted was not ideal. We demonstrate through the Ombudsman’s cases that legal protection remained halfhearted and inadequate, thus undermining the active protection of citizens.
