Democratically legitimised

Hungary's new constitution enjoys broad public support, writes the conservative daily Magyar Nemzet, which has close ties to the government: "The radical criticism that has been levelled at the new constitution and the constitutional assembly is barely justified. Instead of using sensible arguments the critics of the new constitution have churned out the same radical phrases again and again. ... For certain, the constitution was passed by a party alliance [Fidesz-KDNP]. However this alliance represents [with its two-thirds majority] a broad societal basis that is without precedent in Hungary's history. ... For the first time in Hungary's history a constitution has been drafted in a way that is democratic beyond all doubt."
