Venice Commission President Gianni Buquicchio met with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Monday 18 June in Strasbourg at the Council of Europe to discuss the upcoming opinion on new “Stop Soros” legislative provisions.
President Buquicchio called on the Hungarian Parliament not to proceed with the adoption of the law prior to the expected publication of the Commission’s opinion this coming Friday, or at least to take into account the Commission’s recommendations as they appear in the draft opinion, which has already been sent to the Hungarian authorities.
