| Summary: | The article examines the history and current state of interaction between EU law and Hungarian constitutional law. Approaches to such interaction that have developed at the national and supranational levels are consistently studied. The issues of the general model of interaction between international law and domestic law in Hungary, which is based on dualistic traditions, are touched upon within the framework of the studied issues. The process of the State’s accession to the European Union and the corresponding constitutional amendments are considered: the provision on the granting of competence; the national identity clause; the rules of cooperation between the Parliament and the Government; clarification of the status and competence of the National Bank; new electoral rules; as well as constitutional amendments adopted later as part of the implementation of the EU Council Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant. The excessive politicization of the process of the state’s accession to the European Union, which must comply with strict legal criteria for the existence of stable institutions that guarantee democracy, the rule of law and human rights, was noted. Special attention is paid to the Basic Law of 2010, the adoption of which marks a phase of axiological confrontation between the constitutional order of Hungary and the fundamental values of the Union. In this regard, the European Commission appeals to the EU Court with numerous lawsuits aimed at solving the point problems of a more general situation of departure from European values. Hungary, along with Poland, also becomes the first State in respect of which a procedure was initiated for a clear threat of serious violation of values. This conflict has become one of the reasons for the creation of new legal mechanisms related to the protection of such values: the framework procedure for combating systemic threats to the rule of law; the mechanism of the rule of law and the mechanism of conditionality by the rule of law. It is concluded that the nature and degree of political pressure exerted by the European Commission against Hungary casts doubt on the very expediency of the latter’s participation in the European integration project. |
