EP committee doesn't recommend lifting Magyar's immunity
Cikk tartalma röviden
The European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee has decided not to waive the immunity of Péter Magyar, Klára Dobrev, and Ilaria Salis, despite requests from Hungarian authorities. The decision, which is significant but not final, reflects concerns about the independence of the Hungarian justice system. Dobrev expressed her opposition to the suspension of Magyar's immunity, citing a lack of fair trial guarantees. The committee's recommendations are typically upheld by the full Parliament. The cases involve allegations against Magyar related to a cell phone incident and accusations against Dobrev linked to a pedophile scandal. Salis faces serious charges but was released after being elected to the EP, which granted her immunity.
