A JUDICON-EU paper titled “Dissenting Coalitions in Politically Relevant Cases at the Hungarian Constitutional Court 1990-2018” was presented at the conference of the International Society of Public Law.
At the 2021 ICON-S conference, Kálmán Pócza, Gábor Dobos, and Attila Gyulai presented the paper “Dissenting Coalitions in Politically Relevant Cases at the Hungarian Constitutional Court 1990-2018”. The conference was held online on July 6-9, 2021. The paper investigates the Hungarian Constitutional Court through an analysis of dissenting opinions in politically relevant cases. The findings show that the role of political blocs was already present before 2010, during the second phase of the Court (1999–2010) as the judges could be differentiated along the political positions they adopted in their dissenting opinions. During the third phase (2010–2018), the network of judges proved to be less polarized, and a separation between old and new judges also emerged.
