Abstract (may include machine translation)
As a symbolic marker of “ break with the past,” the FIDESZ government of 2010 set out to adopt a new constitution. This chapter looks at questions of shift and legacy through a seemingly technical element of this new Fundamental Law, the legal grounding rule that refers back to the 1949 Constitution. This legal continuity will be contrasted to the constitutional rhetoric of discontinuity, the Fundamental Law’s declaration that the 1949 Constitution is null and void.
