This year, Hungary's birthday is also raising hopes of the rebirth of the country, and "the wish to found our country anew is awakened in many of us," Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony said on Facebook.
The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) on Tuesday presented the mission report of a delegation which visited Hungary between April 14 and 16 to assess the situation of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in the country since its last visit in 2021.
The European Parliament on Wednesday said it has adopted a report expressing its concern over alleged breaches of European Union values in Hungary and other member states.
Recent changes to Hungarian law give reason for concern, the European Union's commissioner for justice, democracy, and the rule of law said in Strasbourg on Wednesday, adding that "the so-called child protection law breaches EU law on a number of accounts".
