The European Parliament is authorising its members to commit criminal offences, criticises the pro-government Magyar Nemzet:

“We once imagined that if we Hungarians rid ourselves from the remnants of our socialist past and caught up with the leading European countries where democracy has long flourished, we would gain admission to an elite club where the rule of law prevails. We were naive. … For Magyar and others, the European Parliament’s decision is tantamount to a blank cheque to commit criminal offences. They should be aware that the EU elite has them in its grip through the lever of immunity.”
