The European Commission has decided to launch an infringement procedure against Hungary regarding the recently approved law "to protect sovereignty".
The community executive announced this in a note.
The provision provides for a regime of sanctions for parties that use foreign funds in electoral campaigns, as well as the establishment of a supervisory authority, the Office for the Protection of Sovereignty, which carries out analysis and investigations in relation to foreign influences on national sovereignty, including electoral processes, with the aim of "protecting the constitutional identity".
