In a recent development, European Union lawmakers have called for increased pressure on Hungary to ensure the respect of the rule of law within the country. This comes amid concerns over Hungary's democratic practices under the leadership of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The European Parliament has long been critical of the erosion of democratic values in Hungary, with many accusing Orban's government of taking measures that undermine the independence of the judiciary, restrict media freedom, and curtail the rights of civil society organizations. This has raised concerns about the country's commitment to the fundamental principles upon which the European Union is built.
