“…This was accompanied by a strategy to undermine the existence of an independent media in favour of government-controlled TV channels and newspapers. The key to this transformation were the introduction of a new constitution in 2011 which strengthened government legislative powers at the expense of legislative scrutiny and judicial supervision by speeding up the implementation of laws and limiting the ability of the Constitutional Court to review legal decisions in key areas such as budgetary matters and taxation (Bos 2021 , p. 37; Jakab and Bodnár 2021 , p. 64).

By adopting a comparative approach between different regime types, the paper concentrates on Germany and Hungary as case studies for the comparative analysis of the effects the pandemic has had on national governance in the two countries which most strongly represent the growing cleavage between the EU’s liberal Western core and the illiberal Central-Eastern periphery. Methodologically the analysis follows the Most Different Systems Design and examines to what extent the Covid pandemic has functioned as a potential catalyser for the weakening of democratic governance in formerly solid democratic political systems and/or as an accelerator of democratic backsliding in hybrid regimes. For this purpose, the paper examines the process and the content of legislation passed domestically to contain the effects of the pandemic. The analysis shows that even under the stronger coordination of executive decision-making between the federal and regional government level, the foundations of legislative and judicial scrutiny remained resilient during the pandemic in Germany’s multi-level polity, while in Hungary central government has used the pandemic to substantially expand its executive powers at the expense of legislative and judiciary powers.
