Members of the European Parliament voted to
censure the Hungarian government on Wednesday for eroding democracy and failing
to uphold fundamental European Union values.
…
Article 7 of the Lisbon Treaty opens a path for
sanctions against a member state and a temporary loss of EU Council voting
rights. The mechanism is triggered when one of the bloc's members violates the
vales of "human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and
respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to
minorities."
PM Viktor Orban responded: "I refuse to
threaten, blackmail and defame Hungary and the Hungarian people by the
immigration forces.
"All nations and Member States have the right to decide how to organize their own lives in their own country."
