Summary/Abstract: Until 2020, Hungary, like most of the European countries, had not faced longlasting states of emergency since the world war. State of emergency had no jurisprudence and the short periods of state of emergency had little impact on people’s everyday life. Now all our thoughts need reconsideration. The present paper intends to provide an overview on the history of the state of emergency in Hungary, highlighting how close is its relation to politics and historical events. Secondly, it examines the measures introduced during the pandemic, lastly it evaluates the Constitutional Court’s case-law: how the measures influenced fundamental rights. Summing up all the above, the paper draws up certain trends and conclusions.
