The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will not open a monitoring procedure in respect of Hungary and the Viktor Orbán government's controversial changes to country’s constitution, reports Népszabadság.
On June 25, in the wake of a heated debate, PACE endorsed by 135 votes to 88 an amendement presented by the centre-right European People’s Party to the effect that the assembly will “closely follow the situation” in Hungary and “take stock of progress achieved”.
The goal of PACE monitoring procedures is to verify compliance with fundamental principles of the Council of Europe: human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
