Already struggling through the harsh Hungarian winter and high unemployment, Hungary's homeless population may soon face a whole new challenge to life on the street: being branded criminals. On Monday, the Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly approved a package of constitutional amendments, including an amendment that would allow local governments to make living on the streets illegal.
The amendment is part of a set of reforms to Hungarys constitution, called the Fundamental Law, which the European Commission and the US State Department have both expressed concerns over. Opponents say the ruling conservative Fidesz party, along with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, are attempting to limit the power of the Constitutional Court, after it rejected a number of Fidesz-backed laws. Protesters marched on Monday near the offices of President János Áder, demanding that he veto the changes. The president, who is currently on a state visit to Berlin, must sign the amendments into law within five days but, according to state media agency MTI, Mr. Áder stated he will not comment on the issue until he arrives back in Hungary.
Homeless men sleep on the floor in a shelter called 'The Heated Street' in Budapest, Hungary, in January. The Hungarian parliament approved a constitutional amendment on Monday that would allow local authorities to criminalize homelessness.
The amendment is the latest move in an ongoing clash over the homeless issue between the Fidesz government and the Constitutional Court. In November, the court struck down Fidesz legislation that criminalized habitual dwelling in public spaces. It stated that the law, which was initially adopted in Budapest and applied nationwide in April 2012, violated the right to human dignity.
Before the courts ruling, authorities were able to impose fines up to 150,000 forint ($638) or imprisonment for up to 60 days on anyone caught sleeping or storing their property on the streets multiple times within a six month period. The amendment passed on Monday gives local authorities the ability to adopt legislation which cannot be later challenged by the Constitutional Court that makes it illegal to live in public spaces.
A necessary change?
Looks as though the politicians don't remember WWII when many, many people (including politicians) were homeless, living in piles of rubble. How soon they forget.Hungary makin' the homeless criminals...
