Hungary rejected European Parliament criticism of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s consolidation of power and accused the legislature of violating its sovereignty.
European lawmakers “wantonly” set new criteria for the nation and overstepped their authority, Hungary’s parliament said in a resolution proposed by Orban’s ruling Fidesz party and passed today. It was also backed by the Christian Democrats and the nationalist Jobbik party.
