    Président de la République de Hongrie n'est pas un citoyen de l'Union comme les autres?
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 581, septembre ,  2014 ,  479-485
    The Court of Luxembourg decided on October 16, 2012 that a head of State is not a citizen like another and considering his special status, notwithstanding the fact that he is a citizen of the Union, he does not enjoy his basic freedom of residency and movement within the EU. The Court thus broke the organic link between free movement of people within the EU and the Union citizenship while denying the principle that the basic status of the Union citizen is his citizenship, not his function. It did it on the sole basis of a vague reference to international law without trying to know whether international law applies.
