Human Rights NGO Turns on Hungarian Government Over Move To Eliminate Half of Opposition MPs
“The Constitution should be the limit of power, not its instrument,” the prominent Hungarian watchdog warned.

“The Constitution should be the limit of power, not its instrument,” the prominent Hungarian watchdog warned.

“It’s not just about [President Sulyok’s] rights. Only fair trial can guarantee that none of us is ever at the mercy of the authorities,” the watchdog said in a statement.

PM Péter Magyar is moving to forcibly unseat the presidents of the Republic and the Constitutional Court and oust half of the opposition MPs from Parliament.

Until Magyar transparently shares what he has committed to, this announcement is just another episode in the extended negotiations between Hungarian leaders and Brussels.

MEPs urged the Commission to assess whether Slovakia faces a “clear risk of a serious breach” of EU values and to use all enforcement tools.

The Hungarian prime minister unironically said Hungary can learn from Poland on how the rule of law can be restored in a country.

Montenegro’s former anti-corruption chief was sentenced to more than two-years in prison for abuse of office and document forgery.

The new Hungarian prime minister is racing against both the clock and opposition from his own voters to meet conditions tied to rule of law reforms, Ukraine, and migration policy.

A resolution adopted in the plenary calls for taking “all necessary measures” even before the investigation concludes, as the financial “witch hunt” against the Patriots group intensifies.

Without reforms in place, the EU is already easing pressure as the new Hungarian leadership sets a contradictory agenda.
