"Hungary adopted a new constitution in April last year, but both the adoption and some of the provisions were criticised by the European Parliament in a resolution of 5 July 2011. The Hungarian Government was called upon to address the issues and comments raised by the Venice Commission, and the European Commission was called upon to carry out a thorough review and analysis of the new constitution and laws, in order to verify that they conform to the
and especially the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, also expressed concern over the application of democracy in Hungary and called on the Hungarian authorities to respect the principles of democracy and freedom and to implement them not only in principle, but also in practice in Hungary’s political and social life.
The comments and concerns presented do not have the aim of criticising Hungary or the Hungarian people. I firmly believe, however, that the protection of fundamental rights, civic freedoms, and our shared European values, as well as peace, security and decent coexistence – that these are all values that should be respected and preserved."@en1
