Decision 30/1992 on freedom of expression

Decision number: Decision 30/1992. (V. 26.)
Subject of the case:

Freedom of expression

The freedom of expression is the “umbrella right” of the fundamental rights of communication. Free expression of ideas and beliefs, free manifestation of even unpopular or unusual convictions, is fundamental to a pluralist, democratic society. The constitutional boundary of the freedom of expression has to be drawn in such a way that in addition to the individual’s subjective right to free expression, it is necessary to consider the (free) formation of public opinion as an indispensable democratic principle.
