MEPs demand sanctions for undermining EU values.
The European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee on November 5 approved the second interim report on the Article 7 procedure initiated by the European Parliament back in 2018 against Hungary over the rule of law crisis and systematic violations of EU values.
This was reported by European Truth from Brussels.
The European Parliament approved the report criticizing Hungary for violating European values.
The report critical of Hungary will be discussed during the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on November 24.
The same session will vote for a relevant resolution based on the report.
According to the draft resolution at the disposal of "European Pravda," in the document MEPs intend to call on the EU Council to impose sanctions against Hungary and the European Commission to resort to new legal pressure mechanisms.
"The European Parliament ... deeply regrets that the lack of decisive action by the Commission and the Council has contributed to the decline of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in Hungary," the document reads.
The text of the report emphasizes that the situation in Hungary, which "poses a threat to all the values of the European Union and its rule of law", continues to deteriorate.
Eurodeputies again reminded that Hungary is no longer a democracy but has turned into a "hybrid regime of electoral autocracy" and called on the EU Council to activate the procedure against Hungary under Article 7(2) of the Treaty on European Union.
The MEPs also drew attention to the recent opinion of the Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the EU Tamara Chapeta, who confirmed that proceedings for violations of European values by a state can be initiated "in cases where the denial of a value is the root cause of other violations of EU law".
The European Parliament may accordingly call on the European Commission to initiate proceedings against Hungary before the Court of Justice of the EU if the said legal possibility is confirmed.
