D’ora in poi, i manifestanti contro gli ospiti stranieri del governo possono essere monitorati in Ungheria [translation in comments]

>The decree previously announced by hvg.hu as a draft has been published in the Hungarian Gazette: the decree, which came into force on July 29, states that the police **”may cordon off an area greater than the usual distance around internationally protected persons requiring enhanced protection or the location of the delegation accompanying them from persons who, during a previous visit to Hungary by an internationally protected person requiring increased protection, behaved in a manner that could endanger the safety of the internationally protected person requiring increased protection or (…) the smooth running of their program in Hungary.”**

>According to the decree, if someone violates such a measure for the second time within 365 days, the police may designate an area that they are not allowed to leave and “monitor its effectiveness with the help of electronic devices.”

>According to the explanatory memorandum, this amendment is necessary because *the effective performance of police tasks related to the protection of internationally protected persons at an appropriate professional level may have a demonstrable impact on the international reputation of our country, the achievement of the state’s international objectives, and the development of economic relations.*

>The restrictions must be lifted when the circumstances threatening the smooth running of the program cease to exist, but no later than after the protected person leaves Hungary.

>Hvg.hu noted that the decree does not address how various legal and technical problems will be remedied, such as what happens if the person in question does not report, since a warrant or arrest warrant can only be issued against them on suspicion of a criminal offense.
