Hungary enforces 'cruel' ban on rough sleeping

The law was initiated by Prime Minister Viktor Olban, but the United Nations called it "cruel" and insisted against human rights.

It virtually prohibited street life and was first approved by the Budapest Congress in June.

The government stated that "allowing the police to exclude rough sleeper from public places is" societal interests ".

Legal changes took effect on Monday, became a more powerful version of the 2013 legislation, making rough sleep a viable crime.

According to Attila Folop, Secretary of State for Social Affairs, the goal is to "prevent homeless people from going out to the city at night and to make public space available without disturbing citizens."

In June, the UN housing expert Leilani Farha said it is "cruel and incompatible with international human rights law"

"What is" crime "committed by homeless people? Just to Survive? She said in an open letter to the government.

Last month, the European Parliament voted to take legal action after the members said that treatment of homelessness in Hungary led to "serious infringement" of the obvious value of the EU values.

"Homeless people can eat, day and night, eat, clean themselves and sleep."
