The Venice Commission indicated that it was ready to urgently discuss the Hungarian President’s submission regarding the constitutional crisis in Hungary.

The spoiled EP debate would have allowed concerns to be voiced about the constitutional amendments proposed by the new Hungarian government.

A Council of Europe deputy was informed that the Budapest visit of the Venice Commission had to be postponed—because the Tisza administration declined to receive the delegation.

President Tamás Sulyok announced on social media that he has sought the opinion of Hungary’s top court about Tisza plans to amend the country’s Fundamental Law.

Hungary’s president has asked a key Council of Europe body to weigh in on a growing constitutional dispute with the country’s new liberal government.
