Debate over constitutional amendment closed after court rejection of ombudsman plea

The top court's decision to throw out the ombudsman's plea to annul fourth amendment brings the debate over the constitution to a close, the Fidesz parliamentary group leader said on Tuesday. "From now on, no one can bring into doubt the legality of the approval of the fourth amendment," Antal Rogan said in a statement. The Constitutional Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by ombudsman Mate Szabo aimed at annulling Hungary's fourth constitutional amendment. Szabo turned to the top court on April 23, requesting a review of the amendment citing formal and procedural inadequacies.
