Putin's war In Ukraine doesn't scare Hungary away from Orban and Trumpism
NBCAPR 20 2022
After opening an inquiry into Hungary's "protecting national sovereignty" law in February, the European Commission (EC) announced Thursday that "most of the grievances identified have still not been addressed."
The law, passed by the right-wing Fidesz party-controlled Parliament, banned foreign donations to Hungarian election campaigns and established an office to inspect foreign-funded organizations, including with the help of intelligence agencies.
The EC is suing Hungary in the Court of Justice, arguing the law is in breach" of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, which include the right to private family life, freedom of expression and association, and legal confidentiality.
