Hungarian shopping ban

This isn't particularly out of the ordinary. I'm relatively neutral on it. It can be an inconvenience, but it is nice to have a universal day of the week where almost everyone is off work.

Seriously, this is a crazy law. I can't believe people are defending this. I assume it's just a knee jerk defense of their own local traditions.

It's not so much a defense on the merit of the law (although only saying there are actual arguments in favor) as drawing attention to the fact that it isn't a particularly radical thing in Europe. Orban has done quite a few radical things, but this isn't one of them.
