Viviane Reding's latest attack on Hungary in the Austrian daily Der Standard not only shows extreme bias against Hungary, but also ignorance of the history of her own country’s constitution. Press statement.

Whilst she condemns Hungary for its amendments to the Fundamental Law, Luxembourg – the Commissioner’s native country – amended its constitution twelve times between 2003 and 2009, and six times in the six months between December 1988 and June 1989.

Therefore we would ask the Commissioner to examine her own country’s constitutional history before expressing an opinion on constitutional issues in other countries.
