Committee position. The Committee on Legal Affairs proposes that Parliament refuse to waive the immunity of Péter Magyar, citing fumus persecutionis.¶
Key points
- The committee decides not to waive the immunity of Péter Magyar.¶
- The alleged offence is not related to an opinion or vote in his parliamentary duties under Article 8 of Protocol No 7.¶
- The committee notes that the request concerns an alleged misdemeanour of theft committed for a minor value under the Hungarian Criminal Code.¶
- The committee finds that the facts, inconsistencies in police investigations, and lack of clarity raise concerns that the proceedings intend to damage his reputation.¶
- The committee concludes that fumus persecutionis can be assumed, meaning there is concrete evidence of intent to undermine his political activity.¶
- Parliament cannot assume the role of a court, and in a waiver procedure, a Member cannot be regarded as a defendant.¶
