European Parliament brands Hungary as ‘no longer a democracy’

  1. The report that the article is linked to, doesn’t really say that.

    Bit of a click bait title.

    The reports headline is
    > INTERIM REPORT on the proposal for a Council decision determining, pursuant to Article 7(1) of the Treaty on European Union, the existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded

    Which is different.

    Now, don’t get me wrong. What Hungary, and to a lesser extent other eastern European nations, are doing with peoples rights is deployable. Democracy doesn’t seem under threat, as the people seem to get a fair vote.
