Re: Homeless people face prison in Hungary after tough new law is passed
What's happening in Hungary, under its present right-wing-populist administration, is bad enough. It is a reminder of the importance of a EU able to enforce general standards of human rights, more that it can now.
It also remind us that here according to SHELTER:
Formal enforcement measures taken by the police, local authorities and other agencies can result in someone receiving a warning, a fine or being arrested. Public Space Protection Orders also affect homeless people.
Less formal methods might include interventions which do not incur legal penalties or sanctions. This includes actions to deter rough sleeping such as designing public spaces to be more hostile or local policies of moving rough sleepers on by the police or other enforcement agencies. It might also include diverted giving schemes which people can donate to instead of giving money directly to someone begging.
The situation is not that different!!
