Changes in legislation affecting the interests of minorities in 2017 The Hungarian government has mainly focused on discriminatory legislation against asylum- seekers in 2017, as is detailed in Chapter 3. However, the Roma were also referred to within Fidesz’s anti-immigration campaign, for example when Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Miskolc1 does not need immigrants since “it already has experiences with them, yet those came from Hungary, or – to be exact – from the territory of Hungary.”2 Nevertheless, the general experience is, as the Roma mayor of Cserdi3 put it, that in today’s Hungary it is not the Roma who must be hated the most; “There is Soros, there are migrants and only then come to the Roma.”4 Legislative amendments concerning the Roma population Considering that the main target of the government’s rhetoric and thus its legislative efforts were asylum-seekers, refugees, and illegal immigrants, no discriminatory legislation aiming at the Roma was approved at the national level in Hungary in 2017. There were, however, two legislative changes that aimed to facilitate the social inclusion of the Roma. In June 2017, the Hungarian government decided to make the construction of the Roma Education and Cultural Centre in Budapest an investment of special importance, which is going to speed up the construction process.5 The Cultural Centre will house a theatre hall, where both musical and dance performance will be held. Moreover, the Centre will be home to permanent and thematic exhibitions, workshops, a professional studio, digital archive, a library, a radio studio and an editorial room. Minister for Human Capacities, Zoltán Balog, said the institution would be a community space for the Roma and the non-Roma Hungarians to learn about Roma culture.6 In November 2017, Budapest also decided to create a Roma Special College Council to help the development of Roma intellectuals. The Council can make recommendations and can advise the government on, for example, legislation affecting special colleges for the Roma, and it is involved in developing the Roma special college network.7 The organisation started operating in April 2018, and the deputy state secretary for social inclusion at the 1 Miskolc is one of the biggest cities in northeastern Hungary with a population of 161,000.

  • HUNGARY Hungary Is a Republic with a Population of Approximately 10
    HUNGARY Hungary is a republic with a population of approximately 10 million and a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral parliament (National Assembly). The National Assembly elects the head of state, the president, every five years. The president appoints a prime minister from the majority party or coalition. The National Assembly elections on April 11 and 25 were assessed as free and fair, with the conservative Fidesz- Christian Democrat (KDNP) coalition winning enough seats in the second round to achieve a two-thirds majority. Fidesz's prime ministerial candidate, Viktor Orban, took office on May 29. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Human rights problems included police use of excessive force against suspects, particularly Roma; new restrictions on due process; new laws that expanded restrictions on speech and the types of media subject to government regulation; government corruption; societal violence against women and children; sexual harassment of women; and trafficking in persons. Other problems continued, including extremist violence and harsh rhetoric against ethnic and religious minority groups and discrimination against Roma in education, housing, employment, and access to social services. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings during the year. In December 2009 the Somogy County Military Prosecutor's Office pressed charges against 10 prison guards at the Kaposvar prison for causing the death of a pretrial detainee and physically assaulting nine other inmates in February 2009.

  • Hungary 2013 Human Rights Report
    HUNGARY 2013 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hungary is a multi-party parliamentary democracy. The unicameral National Assembly (parliament) exercises legislative authority. Parliament elects the president (the head of state) every five years. The president appoints a prime minister from the majority party or coalition following national elections every four years. In 2012 a single round national election system replaced the previous two-round system. The most recent parliamentary elections (in 2010) were assessed as free and fair. The conservative Fidesz-Christian Democrat coalition won a two-thirds parliamentary majority. Fidesz’s prime ministerial candidate, Viktor Orban, took office in 2010. Authorities maintained effective control over security forces. There were reports that security forces committed human rights abuses. Among the most important human rights problems during the year were societal discrimination and exclusion of the Roma (also known as Romani), and anti-Semitism. Discrimination continued to significantly limit Roma access to education, employment, health care, and social services. The government continued to use its two-thirds parliamentary majority to implement constitutional reform. It adopted the Fourth and the Fifth Amendments to the Fundamental Law (constitution). The Fourth Amendment in particular attracted intense international criticism and further reinforced concerns that checks and balances were eroding. Human rights NGOs stressed that political liberties and their guarantees have been subject to systematic curtailment in the past three years and that the Fourth Amendment was a new component of this process. The Fifth Amendment partially responded to international criticism, but concerns remained that provisions contained in the new legislation could undermine equal treatment of religious groups and media pluralism.

  • Nemzeti Radikálisok, 2006 – 20151 Szabó Gabriella
    Nemzeti radikálisok, 2006 – 20151 Szabó Gabriella A tanulmány a nemzeti radikális politikai közösség szemiotikai konfigurációját mutatja be a 2006-tól 2015-ig tartó időszakban. Azokat a jeleket kívánom összefoglalni, amelyek a közösség tagjai és a külvilág számára azonosítják a nemzeti radikálisokat. A kutatás arra a kérdésre keresi választ, hogy milyen jelek segítségével igazodhatott el akár a nemzeti radikális közösség tagja, akár valamelyik másik politikai közösség tagja és szimpatizánsa azt illetően, hogy kik azok a nemzeti radikálisok, kik az ellenfeleik, milyen ügyeket tűznek zászlajukra, melyek a diskurzusokban és csatornahasználatban megkülönböztető jegyeik, illetve melyek a nemzeti radikális ikonográfia tipikus elemei. Miért pont ezeket érdemes tanulmányozni? A kutatás elméleti és módszertani alapja a társadalomszemiotika. A politikai kommunikációra alkalmazott megközelítés szerint a fentiek körül formálódnak a legfontosabb szemiotikai erőforrások. Ezeket az erőforrásokat alkalmazva az adott politikai közösség a számukra legfontosabb politikai cselekvők (aktorok) és témák kijelölésével, szóhasználatok, metaforák, érvkészletek, csatornák, vizuális elemek és jellegzetes stílusok segítségével közölte mondanivalóját. A sajátos szemiotikai konfiguráció tette azonosíthatóvá a közösséget a tagjai, illetve a közösségen kívüli szereplők számára. Másként fogalmazva: a nemzeti radikális közösség politikai cselekvőkre, ügyekre, diskurzusokra, csatornákra, stb. vonatkozó jeltermelő erőfeszítéseit követve tájékozódhatott mindenki, aki a szóban

Benjamin Kallay, at the request of the Hungarian minister president, Andrâssy, was appointed consul at Belgrade in 1868, and thereafter pursued specifically Hungarian objectives at variance with those of the chancellor and foreign minister, Beust. The Hungarian influence on the Monarchy’s relations with Serbia was ultimately responsible for a deterioration in those relations. After the Introduction, which outlines the subject, with reference to the existing literature and sources consulted, the first chapter concentrates on the situation in 1867.
