The draft report on Hungary by the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) "is a bunch of patent lies which disregards facts and reality", Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said at a meeting of the committee on Thursday, according to MTI.
The draft presented by Green MEP Judith Sargentini states that Hungary risks violating European Union values, raising justification for launching an Article 7 procedure against it, the Hungarian news agency reports. The debate between the Hungarian government and LIBE is expected to continue into the future, Szijjarto told a press conference after the debate on the draft report. He insisted that LIBE had "long been waging a show trial against Hungary".
Szijjarto added that the government would not allow the implementation of the "Soros plan". "This is obviously inconvenient for some members of the committee," he said.
