AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The report adds new paragraphs on Hungary's elections, electoral reforms, and the lead candidate process, and expands paragraphs on minorities and young people. It drops paragraphs on foreign interference, media freedom, and political violence, replacing them with new ones on local involvement and the Democracy Shield committee. Recitals are restructured, adding new ones on simultaneous elections, turnout, and representation, while dropping others on disinformation and political advertising. Several paragraphs are rephrased for clarity, and the explanatory statement is updated to past tense. The other changes are formal: corrections to terminology and references.
