Polish Ex-Minister Hits Back at Hungarian Opposition Leader
Rejecting claims of criminal wrongdoing, Poland’s former Minister of Justice called the charges a politically motivated attack by the leftist government in Warsaw.

Rejecting claims of criminal wrongdoing, Poland’s former Minister of Justice called the charges a politically motivated attack by the leftist government in Warsaw.

The Slovak prime minister rejected claims that he found his meeting with the U.S. president “traumatizing,” calling the reporting false and politically motivated.

In the European Parliament, Péter Magyar sits in the EPP group, the party of Ursula von der Leyen who signed the controversial Mercosur deal on Saturday.

Their vote against the lifting of the immunity of Péter Magyar confirms that leftist parties and the EPP hold right-wing politicians to a different standard.

Without the support of the 190 lawmakers from the European People’s Party, Ilaria Salis could face trial—but with a secret vote, the outcome remains uncertain.

The European Parliament’s legal affairs committee has rejected Hungarian requests to lift the immunity of opposition leader Péter Magyar.

Péter Magyar is a “captured man” beholden to his Brussels “mentors and handlers,” according to Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch.

If the Hungarian ruling party were to lose next year’s election, the new government would “pledge loyalty to the current EU leadership, and act accordingly.”

No official reason was given for postponing the vote on lifting the immunity of the Hungarian opposition leader, but the goal is clear: help him take down the conservative government.

The democratic backsliding in Poland does not bother the Commission now that Tusk is in power, and it neither would in Hungary should Orbán be ousted.
