Doomsday in Hungary?

Summary/Abstract: Since Christmas several reports and opinions have appeared in the international media painting a bleak picture of the state of democracy in Hungary, heaping heavy criticism on the government. The objects of the concern and the attacks are the new Constitution passed by the National Assembly in 2011, the media law of 2011, the amendments to the judicial system, the law on the National Bank, and the law on minorities and on the religious denominations.
