Furthermore, the 2021 Opinion noted with concern that according to the 2020 amendments, for a national list to be registered, a party needs to nominate candidates simultaneously in a dramatically increased number of single-member constituencies,[68] and campaign financing from the central budget is only provided to parties which nominate candidates in at least 71 constituencies. While the goals of this rule – to favour big parties and reinforce national-wide political parties or coalitions with a presence in an important part of the national territory – appeared legitimate, in the Hungarian context the amendment looked favourable to the incumbents. The Opinion stressed that the introduction, in 2011, of a first-past-the-post system, instead of a two-round one, had already favoured the majority party vis-à-vis an opposition consisting of several parties, which lost most chances in majoritarian constituencies when they did not present a common candidate; and that the legal framework was unfavourable to common lists of several parties, as coalitions are penalised by the 10 or 15% threshold, the highest one in Europe. These concerns were also emphasised in the 2022 Report by the Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which noted that “the changes to electoral law in Hungary over the past decade have facilitated the emergence of ‘supermajorities’ benefiting the ruling party” and that one impact of the 2020 amendment is “that it makes it more difficult for opposition and smaller parties to obtain a foothold and forces them to unite in heterogeneous coalitions”.^[69]
