Freedom of Expression/History/Country sources/Hungary
What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
Hungary
Hungary’s declaration of independence in 1791 included freedom of expression through the press in Article 1 of Law 18. During its time as a Communist nation, it granted freedom of press, speech, and assembly — but not explicitly expression. The current Fundamental Law of Hungary guarantees freedom of expression in Article 9.
