confidence notes
Helsinki Committee primary source. Omnibus/supercommittee procedural evasion is a documented tactic in multiple countries — compare Serbian extraordinary parliamentary sessions for judicial laws (SIG-SRB in database). Pattern: formal compliance gesture embedded in unrelated legislation to avoid scrutiny.

excerpt
Hungarian Parliament amends Stop Soros law through a last-minute amendment introduced via a parliamentary supercommittee attached to an unrelated omnibus bill — bypassing normal parliamentary scrutiny. The changes are minor and leave core criminalization provisions intact. Helsinki Committee documents that Hungary has failed to implement the CJEU judgment and the criminalization of assistance to asylum seekers effectively continues. The procedural method — supercommittee omnibus insertion — itself documents the evasion of parliamentary oversight.
