title = {Changes of the Judicial Structure in Hungary – Understanding the New Authoritarianism},
year = {2018},
note = {In 2018 the populist right-wing authoritarian Fidesz, after eight
years of dismantling the rule of law and democracy, won the
parliamentary election by two-thirds, in a greatly unfair election.
The release from authoritarianism through elections organized by the
authoritarian forces is unlikely. Due to the lack of an effective
counterbalance for the government, this political situation
undoubtedly affects the judiciary, as well as the entire construction
of the rule of law from several perspectives. This contribution
thoroughly analyses the mechanisms that were instrumental in making
the non-rule of law situation, as well as the reasons for this
perplexing situation, with particular emphasis on the general
peculiarities of the new Hungarian authoritarianism. In its concluding
chapter, the article discusses the changes of the judicial structure
in Hun-gary, in particular. In this respect, the development in
Hungary has been characterized by continuous failure, and periodic
setbacks.},
