Redemocratization efforts in Hungary as a second try: civil society organizations and mass movements
Journal Title: Problemy Polityki Społecznej. Studia i Dyskusje - Year 2015, Vol 31, Issue 31
Abstract
This paper tries to argue that Hungary has been the classical case for the decline of demo- cracy, including the marginalization and the state control of civil society that may be turned into the redemocratization efforts in the spirit of “bottom-up democratization”. This decline of democracy has been accomplished by the Orbán governments since 2010 given their two-thirds supermajority that has allowed them to introduce a new Constitution without national consent and without approval by referendum. The radical change in legislation has also concerned the regulation of civil society organizations and the freedom of the media. As a result, a strong resistance has emerged against this increasing authoritarian rule, pro- ducing a series of democratic innovations and has promised a second try of democratization.
