ABSTRACT
Deterioration of Hungarian democracy has weakened the rule of law since
2010. The changes that favour the executive power at the expense of the legislative one
are implemented by National Assembly. The paper analyses the formal and practical
outcome of the functioning of the Hungarian parliament (2010–2022), which meets the
criteria of novelty by referring to only one of the parts of the political system, while many
other researchers focus on global regime changes. The research aims to analyze how
the Hungarian parliament introduces illiberal legalism. The main question refers to the role and position of the National Assembly in the process of deterioration of Hungarian
democracy. The research methods are the legal analysis, neo-institutional approach and
comparative method.
