HUThe article discusses the ongoing legal situation regarding the suspension of parliamentary immunity for two Hungarian politicians, Magyar Péter and Varga Lőrinc Mihály. Magyar Péter, leader of the Tisza Party, previously stated during the 2024 European Parliament campaign that he would support ending parliamentary immunity for politicians. However, despite this stance, the prosecution has not yet requested the removal of his immunity. Meanwhile, Varga Lőrinc Mihály, a member of the Tisza faction, faces potential suspension of his immunity due to charges related to driving under the influence. The National Assembly was informed by the Speaker, Forsthoffer Ágnes, that the Pest Central District Court had initiated proceedings to suspend Varga’s immunity. Varga later admitted fault and accepted full responsibility via a Facebook post. Attempts to contact the Tisza faction and the immunity committee for clarification on whether they plan to vote on suspending Varga’s immunity were unsuccessful.
