Hungary has a new Constitution

[Feuer Frei!]

Hungary has a new constitution. Passed by the Hungarian Parliament and signed by the Hungarian President, this constitution will take effect on January 1st, 2012. The constitution was written and passed by the center-right Fidesz party which currently holds 227 of 385 seats in the Hungarian Parliament giving it a 59% majority. The text of the document is causing the Leftists, Globalists, and EU tyrants to go into fits. The left-wing Hungarian parties even boycotted the vote. Here’s why.
First, the constitution is explicitly Christian. The National Credo which preambles the new constitution is well worth the read in its two page entirety, but here are some of the relevent excerpts:2

…
We are proud, that our King St. Stephen established the Hungarian state on firm foundations a thousand years ago and our country a part of Christian Europe.
…
We recognize the role of Christianity in preserving our nationhood.
…

Second, the constitution is explicitly nationalistic. Again from the National Credo:

…
We are proud of our forefathers who struggled for survival, freedom, and independence of our country.
…
We are proud that our people have battled for centuries to protect Europe and have, with their talent and diligence, enriched her common values.
…
We undertake to preserve and nurture our legacy, the Hungarian culture, our unique language, the man-made and natural treasures of the Carpathian-basin.
…
We profess that the most important frameworks for our coexistence are the family and the nation
…
We respect the achievements of our historic constitution and the Holy Crown, which embodies the continuity of the Hungarian constitutional state and the unity of the nation.
…

Third, the constitution is thoroughly anti-Communist. Again from the National Credo:
…
We do not acknowledge the suspension of our historic constitution as a result of foreign occupation. We reject the applicability of the statue of limitations to the inhuman crimes committed against the Hungarian nation and its citizens during the reign of the national socialist and communist regimes.
We do not accept the legal continuity of the communist “constitution” of 1949, which served as the basis of a despotic regime; therefore we declare it null and void.
We agree with the members of the first freely elected Parliament, who pronounced in their first resolution that our freedom of today stems from our 1956 revolution.
We consider that the state sovereignty of Hungary lost on March 19, 1944 was regained on May 2, 1990, when the first freely elected representative body of the people was constituted. We count this latter day as the start of the new democracy and constitutional order of our country.
And lastly, the constitution is pro-family, pro-life, and pro-children. Article M of the Basic Stipulations section states, “(1) Hungary protects the institution of marriage between man and woman, a matrimonial relationship voluntarily established, as well as the family as the basis for the survival of the nation. (2) Hungary supports child-bearing.” From the Freedoms and Responsibility section, Article II states, “Human dignity is inviolable. Everyone has the right to life and human dignity; the life of a foetus will be protected from conception.”, Article III states, “(3) Eugenic practices aimed at selection of persons, making the human body and its parts a source of profit and the reproductive cloning of human beings are prohibited.”, and Article XXI states, “(2) It cannot be considered an infringement of equal voting rights if a super majority law provides an additional vote for mothers in families with minor children, or as a provided by law, another person may be entitled to an additional vote.” In short, marriage is between a man and a woman, child bearing is encouraged and those with children may receive extra votes, abortion is murder, and human cloning is prohibited.

A big step in the right direction imho. An important sense of national consciousness as well as a link to their past.
