The recent changes to Hungary’s constitution complied with European law is apparently reaping dividends.
On April 15, the newspaper reports that the Hungarian government led by the conservative nationalist Fidesz party proposed to amend legislation restricting political advertising, which was one of the Commission’s grievances — notably in the runup to the 2014 European elections. The other measures that have attracted criticism in Brussels concern the independence of the press, the administration of justice, and the country’s central bank.
The position of the European Commission and European Council on the constitutional situation in Hungary is to be discussed at a plenary session of the European Parliament on April 17 ahead of a June vote on a resolution on “the situation of fundamental rights” in Hungary.
