AMERICAN Hungarian Journal Hungary votes yes over change to constitution Hungary’s parliament passed an amendment to the country’s constitution which critics say amounts to an attack on democ­racy, despite calls from Brussels to delay the vote. The amendment effectively annuls all decisions made by Hun­gary’s Constitutional Court prior to January 2012, and will bring in measures such as a narrow defini­tion of marriage as a heterosexual union, a ban on sleeping on the streets, and a ban on political cam­paign adverts on private media. The European Union and the US had expressed concern about the vote and its impact on the indepen­dent judiciary, independent, co. uk U.S. Department of State: Proposed Amendments to the Hungarian Constitution The United States shares the concerns expressed by the Council of Europe about proposed amend­ments to the Hungarian constitu­tion. These amendments deserve closer scrutiny and more deliber­ate consideration, as they could threaten the principles of institu­tional independence and checks and balances that are the hallmark of democratic governance. The United States urges the Government of Hungary and the Parliament to ensure that the pro­cess of considering amendments to the constitution demonstrates respect for the rule of law and judicial review, openness to the views of other stakeholders across Hungarian society, and continu­ing receptiveness to the expertise of the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission, state.gov Shari Vester: “DEGREES OF COURAGE” EXCERPT FROM the new novel On New Years Eve 1944 with the Russians at the outskirts of Budapest and Nazi propaganda still boasting of incredible miracle weapons and glorious final victo­ries the Riedls sat savoring every bite of their meager holiday meal, except the youngest boy, Erno. Staring at his plate he had no appetite to eat. He knew he could no longer stall confessing that he joined a volunteer fighting unit. His parents first thought it was a bad joke, he was not yet 16, but his papers left no doubt, he was telling the truth. Dropping his head he admitted forging his birth certificate. For a moment there was stunned silence. Then is mother was shouting, “Oh no, you are not going anywhere! Your father will tell them that you lied and falsified your papers. They have to let you go, and that will be the end of it!” Then turned to her husband. “You are in the military, you can do something for this stupid boy, anything to get him out of this mess, cant’ you?” But he couldn’t. There was not enough time: Erno was to report for duty in two days. Feel­ing utterly helpless, László Riedl Shari Vester vented his anger on his son. “How could you do this to us, to your mother? It’s because you spend all day listening to that idi­otic radio! How could you believe those lies about victories when even a blind man could see that the war is lost.! “Do you realize what you have done, what you are getting into? You were safe here, together with your family, with a roof over your head, and food to eat. All you had to do was wait a little longer! But no, you had to throw it all away and play the big hero, and for what? For nothing! “You’ll be nothing but fodder for the Nazis! Remember that when you’ll be staring at a Rus­sian with his machine gun point­ing at your head, and you without a reliable weapon to shoot him first! I know what kind of equip­ment the soldiers are given today. Nothing but junk that jam before they have a chance to pull the trigger. “You silly, gullible boy! I should kill you now, at least we’d know where you are buried.” Suddenly he stopped his tirade. It was useless to go on. The sad fact was that most likely they would lose their son.
