How to Dismantle a Hybrid Regime Győry, Csaba Verfassungsblog 2021-12-16 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier The call from Andrew Arato and Andras Sajó starts an important and timely debate. It is indeed a thorny question in which cases a formal breach of constitutional norms is the only way to restore constitutionalism. I make three claims: First, while the potential opposition government’s legislative power will indeed be constrained, it will not be entirely powerless. Second, many of these constraints do not stem from constitutional provisions per se, but from informal practices within constitutional organs, and thus cannot be addressed by only formal constitutional changes, revolutionary or otherwise. Third, in the present situation a calculated formal breach of the constitution will most likely lead to civilian strife, political paralysis and radicalization. It will also have the potential to destabilize the European Union. funded by the government CC BY-SA 4.0 Constitutional Reset Fidesz Hungary Hybrid Regimes Transition Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 https://staging.verfassungsblog.de/governance-or-revolution/ raw object
