With its ruling, the European Court of Justice obliged Hungary to, contrary to the rules of the Basic Law, allow in those migrants who had been stopped by the fence and the Hungarian border guards.
Our border guards did not allow the migrants to enter. If they did this illegally, they could not stay in Hungary. They had to initiate the assessment of their request for asylum outside Hungary.
The Hungarian government turned to the Constitutional Court with the question: What should be done?
The Constitutional Court made three decisions.
1. He confirmed that the government must protect our constitutional identity, even if it is contrary to the judgment of the European Court.
2. He stated that if the institutions of the Union do not effectively exercise the shared powers, the Hungarian authorities can exercise them.
3. He stated that the relationship between migration and human dignity should also be examined from the point of view of the indigenous people.
A decision of historic importance.
Not an easy read. At its center is man and human dignity - in a way that is only rarely seen in Europe.
In protecting human dignity, international courts followed the same path as the societies of progressive Europe in general. The individual was torn from his natural national, linguistic, cultural, family and religious communities. They deny that belonging to such communities is part of self-identity and thus of human dignity. They deny that it deserves fundamental protection. Today there are only individuals who are people without attributes: they can live anywhere, speak any language, pray to any god.
Traditional communities have become completely defenseless: they are not only opposed to political progress, but also to the law. Today, Europeans do not have the right to decide with whom they want to live in a country - even if mass immigration leads to the disintegration of the traditional communities that form the basis of their individual identity. Ultimately, in a fundamental legal sense, Europeans today have no right to their country, language, culture, family and God.
The decision of the Constitutional Court takes a contrary position. It is turning the human rights system upside down. In this light, we should read everything he writes about the powers of the European Union and the sovereignty of Hungary. The Hungarian state has an obligation to prevent significant damage to self-identity - even if this occurs due to the decision of the European Court of Justice or shortcomings in the exercise of EU powers. It cannot happen that the traditional social environment of the people living in Hungary changes without democratic authorization and state control.
Home is only where there is law. According to the Constitutional Court, Hungarians have the right to their own country.
