title = {Social Security in Hungary Before and After the Fundamental Law of 2012 in Light of the Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court},
year = {2018},
note = {This paper explores and compares the jurisprudence of the Hungarian
Constitutional Court (Alkotmánybíróság, henceforth abbreviated:
CC) regarding social security before and after the new Constitution
entered into force in 2012. The wording of the new Fundamental Law of
Hungary - signed on April 25, 2011 and effective as of January 1, 2012
- was said to be more restrained and modest regarding social rights,
as it does not explicitly stipulate such rights. In this paper I try
to come up with a conclusion as to whether the level of protection of
social security in the case law of the Hungarian Constitutional Court
also became lower after 2012. With this comparison I focus on the
following three topics: a) the general CC interpretation of social
security in the Constitution and in the Fundamental Law; b) the
constitutional protection of certain elements of social insurance as
property; c) constitutional protection of homeless people. This paper
does not intend to cover the whole field of the constitutional
protection of social rights. I selected only these three topics
because I considered them to have been the most disputable questions
in the last few years among scholars, politicians and in the media as
well.},
