Germany is leading a chorus of international criticism of Hungary ’s decision to change its constitution and restrict the power of its highest court, in the latest clash between the EU and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban.
Hungary’s parliament, which is dominated by Mr Orban’s centre-right Fidesz party, approved amendments on Monday that had been struck down by the constitutional court and denounced by the EU, US and rights groups.
A spokesman for German chancellor Angela Merkel said that when she met Hungarian president Janos Ader yesterday, she “made the case once again for the responsible use” of the Hungarian government’s two-thirds majority.
