The electoral victory has the potential to turn into a constitutional moment for Hungary, yet it is overshadowed by a profound constitutional dilemma: Is it justified to disobey the constitution to rebuild democracy and the rule of law? I argue that constitutional disobedience may not only be justified but legally required in favour of substantive constitutional values and democratic rebuilding.
