	hvg.hu - hírek szünet nélkül : Laszlo Solyom's First Year - Not such an excellency
		Laszlo Solyom, who moved into the Sandor Palace last August, has not followed the well-trodden path of his predecessors over this past year.
		Solyom first stated that he would not go to the US while Hungarians were obliged to obtain a visa and give a fingerprint in order to go there.
		Especially since Solyom has himself said: "It takes time for a person to understand how to speak, what he is to say, and how he is to say it." The president has not wasted his year of apprenticeship.

		Solyom had first emerged as a contender when his name was put forward by an environmental group, Vedegylet, and by 110 public intellectuals.
		Solyom based many of his arguments on the concept that there is an âinvisible constitutionâ: a set of principles, enduring values, not explicitly spelled out in the constitution, but underlying it.
		Solyom himself has said he intends to be a "passive, strict president who speaks little." Although in the Hungarian system the president's role is usually seen as ceremonial, the position comes with significant rights, though they are not customarily used.

		Written by the first President of the Hungarian Constitutional Court, Laszlo Solyom, in collaboration with Professor George Brunner from the University of Cologne, the book combines a detailed commentary on the work of the Hungarian Court with a selection of the reported judgments chosen from its first ten years.
		Taking as their model the Constitutional Court of Germany, the opposition representatives, of which Laszlo Solyom was one, pressed the establishment of a Constitutional Court upon on their co-participants.
		In his commentary former Justice Solyom argues persuasively that the merits and demerits of this argument need to be considered contextually and that, in the specific context of Hungarian system change, the activism of the Hungarian Court was a necessary counterbalance to wider anti-democratic forces that existed in government, parliament and society.
