Hungary Proposes Law to Temporarily Revoke Citizenship for Certain Dual Nationals

The Orbán government targets non-EU dual citizens deemed national security threats, raising concerns over democratic backsliding.

Hungary's parliament has received a proposed law allowing temporary citizenship revocation for dual citizens outside the EU, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Iceland.
The law targets individuals accused of working for foreign powers or organizations and posing a threat to public order and security.
Critics argue the measure is a repressive tool to silence government critics and civil organizations, continuing Orbán's authoritarian governance trend.
The proposed revocation period is up to ten years, a mechanism considered unusual in international practice.
The law is expected to pass easily due to the ruling party's parliamentary majority, intensifying scrutiny of Hungary's democratic practices.
