A lengthy article written by Marion Smith about the new proposed Hungarian constitution was published in today’s Wall Street Journal Europe. The article emphasizes that “the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has voiced its belief that Hungarians need to return to a philosophy of self-reliance and personal responsibility” that can only happen „if the state does not take on responsibilities that belong to individuals”. Therefore, it is „troubling that Hungary's proposed new constitution, in its current form, contains provisions that would empower the state beyond what is suitable for protecting economic liberties”.
