The Un ited Nations’ human rights office has added its voice to international criticism of Hungary‘s constitutional reforms, despite the insistence of prime minister Viktor Orban that they do not endanger to his country’s democracy.
Hungary’s parliament, dominated by Mr Orban’s centre-right Fidesz party, this week approved a controversial fourth amendment to a constitution that it introduced only last year.
The latest changes enshrine several government policies that were previously rejected by the constitutional court, including making it illegal to sleep on the streets, restricting political campaign adverts to state-controlled television and radio stations, and forcing university students who take state grants to work in Hungary for a certain number of years after graduation.
