Hungary’s radical nationalist Jobbik party backs quitting the European Union after the bloc’s executive said it may sue Hungary for possible violations of the independence of the central bank, the judiciary and the data protection office, MTI reported.
Jobbik is defending “Hungary’s sovereignty” and not the specific laws, party leader Gabor Vona said yesterday, according to the state news service.
Jobbik has surged in polls and is now tied for second place among decided voters, pollster Szonda Ipsos said on Dec. 14.
