Hungarian Parties Slam “War On Democracy”
"The “polling booth revolution” has suffered its first defeat with the Constitutional Court ruling, Socialist Party caucus director József Tóbiás said on Tuesday.

He said the winners of the ruling are those teachers, civil and public servants who were right in thinking that they will be paid their allowance as laid down by law.

Politics Can Be Different (LMP) caucus leader András Schiffer said Fidesz had “crossed the Rubicon” and “declared war on constitutional democracy”. Fidesz’s methods “must even be the envy of Nursultan Nazarbayev in Kazakhstan”, he added."
