Remarks on the reasoning : the morals of a Hungarian expulsion decision in times of pandemic

Csatlós, Erzsébet (author)

Several Iranian university students were expelled from Hungary to Iran due to their (allegedly) unlawful behaviour during their quarantine period at the outburst of the Covid-19 pandemic on grounds of being a threat to public policy and public security. The case reveals a worrisome practice in the reasoning of expulsion decisions, irrespective of the pandemic. By analysing a judgment on the review of an administrative decision on expulsion, the article explores the normative circumstances of the legal institutions appearing in the case. By comparing international, European Union, and Hungarian constitutional practice, the study reveals a controversial legal practice. It not only evaluates the case, but draws attention to the role, quality, and legal significance of reasoning of administrative acts which lately, with a quickly changing legislation, seems to be forgotten.

• Title: Pomisleki v zvezi z utemeljitvijo madžarske odločitve o izgonu v času pandemije

Abstract

Zaradi (domnevnega) nezakonitega vedenja v času prestajanja karantene in ogrožanja javne politike in javne varnosti je Madžarska na začetku pandemije covida-19 iz države izgnala skupino iranskih študentov. Primer kaže na zaskrbljujoče prakse utemeljevanja odločb o izgonu ne glede na pandemijo. Z analizo sodb o presoji upravnih odločb o izgonu članek preučuje normativne okoliščine pravnih institutov, veljavnih v omenjenem primeru. S primerjavo mednarodne, evropske in madžarske ustavnosodne prakse raziskava kaže na sporno pravno prakso, pri tem pa ne presoja zgolj primera, ampak opozarja na vlogo, kakovost in pravni pomen obrazložitve upravnih aktov, na katero se v hitro spreminjajoči se zakonodaji prepogosto pozablja.
