"I voted in favour of this report, because there was a lack of transparency in the process of drafting the Hungarian Constitution. The new Constitution was drafted and adopted in a very tight timeframe, and consequently did not leave enough time for a comprehensive and fundamental debate on the draft Constitution. Furthermore, the Constitution has been widely criticised by national, European and international NGOs and organisations, the Venice Commission and representatives of Member States’ governments because of the lack of any political and societal consensus on this particularly important document. There is concern that the new Constitution fails to explicitly declare a number of principles, which, due to its international obligations, Hungary is obliged to respect and promote, such as the prohibition of the death penalty and life imprisonment without parole, the prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation, and of the suspension or restriction of fundamental rights by decree. I therefore agree with the position of the European Parliament that there needs to be a thorough and profound examination and analysis of the new Constitution and constitutional laws, which will be adopted in future, in order to check whether they comply with the particularly the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the word and spirit of the Treaties."@en1
