Orban sends thank-you letters to supportive MEPs
By EUobserver
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Oban sent thank-you letters to MEPs who opposed triggering the so-called article 7 against Hungary in a vote in the European parliament on 12 September. "I appreciate the support you've shown towards national sovereignty and solidarity during the vote," said the letter. A large majority voted 448-197 to invoke article 7 against Hungary for serious breaches of EU values.
