Televizní noviny | Outgoing European Commission sues Hungary

The European Commission sues Hungary over a law protecting national sovereignty. According to Brussels, it violates, among other things, several fundamental freedoms of the internal market or EU data protection laws. Budapest defends the law on the grounds that it is necessary to protect it from foreign political interference. For example, it prohibits political parties standing for election from being financed by anyone from abroad. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for main evening broadcast on TV Nova.

It is necessary to realize that this is just another only the next step of the European Commission within the procedure itself for the violation of EU law and it is not an attempt to finish something quickly.
