Viktor Orbán submitted his proposal for a constitutional amendment that would ban the relocation of foreign population to Hungary on Monday.
The fact that non-Hungarians cannot be relocated to Hungary would be included in the Fundamental Law - this is the main purpose of the constitutional amendment proposal which Prime Minister Viktor Orbán submitted to the National Assembly on Monday. Foreign citizens, – providing they are not citizens of the European Economic Area –, will only be able to live in Hungary one the basis of an individual request that is authorised by the Hungarian authorities according to a procedure in set down in legislation adopted by the National Assembly.
The five-part amendment would also change the National Creed, stating: “We declare that the protection of our self-identity, which has its roots in our historical constitution, is the fundamental duty of the state”.
The amendment also includes the fact that in the interests of enabling Hungary to participate as a member of the European Union, the practicing of spheres of competence must be in harmony with the fundamental rights and freedoms set down in the Fundamental Law, and cannot limit Hungary’s unalienable power of disposal over its territorial unity, population, form of government and state system.
