The European Parliament will stage an urgent debate on Hungary's proposed new transparency law, part of a self-styled "spring clean" by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, during the plenary session in Brussels on Wednesday, the Parliament's rapporteur for Hungary, MEP Tineke Strik (Netherlands/Greens) has told Euronews.
The draft law was introduced to the Hungarian Parliament last week by the ruling party Fidesz to international outcry. Once adopted, the act would see foreign-funded media and NGO's listed and facing fines where foreign interference is alleged.
