EU Commission launches probe into Hungary's 'Stop Soros' law
By EUobserver
The EU Commission on Thursday launched a probe into Hungary's so-called 'Stop Soros' legislation that criminalises assistance to people seeking asylum in the country. The new law could be in breach EU rules on asylum applicants' rights and other EU rules on non-admissibility. The commission also referred Hungary to the EU's top court for an earlier breach of EU asylum rules for legislation adopted in 2015.
