Given the dramatically worsening situation of fundamental rights in Hungary, most recently illustrated by the laws which grant the police the right to search for immigrants in people’s homes without authorized permission and allow the army to use force against refugees, the ALDE Group has decided to maintain its demand in the civil liberties committee that the European Parliament starts the article 7.1 procedure, despite opposition from the S&D group.
