Potentially Controversial New Changes to Constitution in Hungary Proposed by Orbán Gov't
The government will make several proposals to amend Hungary's constitution, the head of the Prime Minister's Office told a regular press briefing.

The constitution will stipulate that "there are two sexes: female and male", Gergely Gulyas said.

Further changes could ensure the right of small communities to self-defence "to ensure that small communities can decide whom they want to live together with," Gulyas said.

He said the government had received such requests from many mayors, adding that the minister of public administration and regional development would facilitate consultations with local leaders on the subject.

Furthermore, a prohibition on drug abuse will also be encoded in the constitution, and the Fundamental Law will include stipulations that "the right of children to physical, psychological and moral development precedes all rights with the exception of the right to life", Gulyas said.
