First, the constitution is explicitly Christian. The National Credo, which preambles the new constitution, is well worth the read in its two-page entirety. Here are some of the relevant excerpts:2
We are proud, that our King St. Stephen established the Hungarian state on firm foundations a thousand years ago and our country a part of Christian Europe. . . .
We recognize the role of Christianity in preserving our nationhood.
Second, the constitution is explicitly nationalistic. Again from the National Credo:3
We are proud of our forefathers who struggled for survival, freedom, and independence of our country. . . .
We are proud that our people have battled for centuries to protect Europe and have, with their talent and diligence, enriched her common values. . . .
We undertake to preserve and nurture our legacy, the Hungarian culture, our unique language, the man-made and natural treasures of the Carpathian-basin. . . .
We profess that the most important frameworks for our coexistence are the family and the nation. . . .
We respect the achievements of our historic constitution and the Holy Crown, which embodies the continuity of the Hungarian constitutional state and the unity of the nation.
Third, the constitution is thoroughly anti-communist. Again from the National Credo:4
We do not acknowledge the suspension of our historic constitution as a result of foreign occupation. We reject the applicability of the statute of limitations to the inhuman crimes committed against the Hungarian nation and its citizens during the reign of the national socialist and communist regimes.
We do not accept the legal continuity of the communist “constitution” of 1949, which served as the basis of a despotic regime; therefore we declare it null and void.
We agree with the members of the first freely elected Parliament, who pronounced in their first resolution that our freedom of today stems from our 1956 revolution.
We consider that the state sovereignty of Hungary lost on March 19, 1944 was regained on May 2, 1990, when the first freely elected representative body of the people was constituted. We count this latter day as the start of the new democracy and constitutional order of our country.
We also see this in the actual constitution itself. Article J of the Basic Stipulations section states: “(1) The national holidays of Hungary… c) the 23rd of October, to commemorate the 1956 revolution and freedom fight.”5
And lastly, the constitution is pro-family, pro-life, and pro-children. Article M of the Basic Stipulations section states: “(1) Hungary protects the institution of marriage between man and woman, a matrimonial relationship voluntarily established, as well as the family as the basis for the survival of the nation. (2) Hungary supports child-bearing.”6 From the Freedoms and Responsibility section, Article II states: “Human dignity is inviolable. Everyone has the right to life and human dignity; the life of a foetus will be protected from conception.” Article III states: “(3) Eugenic practices aimed at selection of persons, making the human body and its parts a source of profit and the reproductive cloning of human beings are prohibited.” And Article XXI states: “(2) It cannot be considered an infringement of equal voting rights if a super majority law provides an additional vote for mothers in families with minor children, or as a [sic] provided by law, another person may be entitled to an additional vote.”7 In short, marriage is between a man and a woman.
