- excerpt
- Fidesz parliamentary group leader presents a legislative package described as "defense of sovereignty" — characterized by Helsinki Committee as designed to protect arbitrary exercise of power rather than genuine national sovereignty. The package signals the transition from financial transparency weaponization (LexNGO) to surveillance infrastructure building. Helsinki Committee analysis documents the package as constitutionally defective and predicts it will face legal challenges — but notes it will have an immediate chilling effect on civil society and media before any legal remedy is available.
