- Abstract
2018 was another eventful year for the Hungarian constitutional system. On April 8, 2018, general elections were held and one of the first major steps of the newly formed National Assembly was to accept the Seventh Amendment (hereinafter: Amendment) of the Hungarian Fundamental Law (hereinafter: FL). The Amendment contains a number of provisions that can be interpreted in response to today's European challenges for Hungary, including the debate about the protection of constitutional identity or the amendment of the EU integration clause under Article E) of the FL, based on the most recent jurisprudence of the Hungarian Constitutional Court. Regarding organizational issues, the Amendment also creates a separate administrative jurisdiction in Hungary by establishing separate administrative courts and the Administrative Supreme Court is placed on top of the separate jurisdiction. Based on the Amendment, a number of highpriority acts - most importantly Act LV of 2018 on the right of assembly and Act LIII of 2018 on the protection of privacy - have been adopted.
