For the first time in the history of the European Union, the European Parliament voted today to trigger Article 7 against a member state.
Viktor Orban, Hungary’s tough Prime Minister, has strongly opposed any compulsory EU long-term quota on redistribution of migrants. As such the EU voted to pursue unprecedented disciplinary action against Hungary over alleged ‘breaches’ of core values.
Prime Minister Orban’s government have taken a hard stance against immigration including the introduction of a law making it a criminal offence for lawyers and activists to help asylum seekers.
