Hungary is a landlocked country in Europe, which shares borders with Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. The population of this country is approx 96,78,000 with 93,030 square kilometers area. In terms of religion, 54% are Christians, 18% do not follow any religion, and 27% did not disclose their identity. Almost everyone is ethnically Hungarian, with a small number of Romanians. The official language is Hungarian.
Hungary is constitutionally committed to preserving the tradition of family formation through consensual marriage between men and women. Everyone is guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Every worker has the right to a workplace that ensures health, safety and dignity. Every Hungarian citizen is entitled to assistance in the case of maternity, sickness, disability, disability, parentlessness and unemployment for reasons outside of citizen's control. The State shall strive to use the latest technological solutions and scientific achievements to make its operation efficient, raise the standard of public services, improve the transparency of public affairs and to promote equality of opportunity.
These are positive aspects. Now let's discuss the negative aspects.
The Preamble to the Constitution favors God, King, Christianity, Europe, etc., like an old-fashioned medieval polity. Although the constitution mentions "European values" several times - all of these nonsense are not actually "secular", which is in conflict with real European values.
