Hungary plays a role analogous to a judgment of the Italian Constitutional Court: it turns the axiological dimension of the founding text into an autonomous criterion for assessment. Just as that judgment overcame the prescriptive/programmatic distinction, Commission v. Hungary overcame the distinction between values and legal norms, holding that Article 2 TEU contains values integral to its identity. Its significance lies not in constitutionalising European society, but in rendering legally relevant the social coexistence embodied in Article 2.
