The state of emergency law in #Hungary went through Parliament yesterday. Why is it so worrying and what does it mean for the #EU? THREAD 1/8
New law contains the following:
- State of emergency w/o time limit
- Rule by decree
- Parliament suspended
- all elections suspended
- Spreading fake news + rumors: up to 5 yrs in prison
- Leaving quarantine: up to 8 yrs in prison (as stated by @balazscseko) 2/8
This means indefinite and uncontrolled state of emergency in #Hungary; there are no checks and balances left, neither Parliament nor the Courts have a grip on the executive power. #Hungary is now an openly authoritarian state - a development that started back in 2010. 3/8
