How many paedophile priests received tens of millions from the state for sex education training? We demand answers from Balázs Hankó and Zsolt Semjén!

Change 6
ChangedK. whereas at the time of the facts that gave rise to the request for the waiver of her immunity, Klára Dobrev was regarded as a prominent and outspoken critic of the former Hungarian Government, consistently denouncing its policies and actions, including, most notably, the high-profile paedophilia scandal that implicated figures related to the ruling political authorities; whereas the representative of the private prosecuting party was part of Hungary’s former government; whereas it appears that, under Hungarian law, defamation claims can be pursued on the basis of both criminal and civil law,law with significant differences in the possible corresponding legal consequences, including imprisonment; whereaswhereas, consequently, in the present case,case the choicedecision ofto bringingbring a criminal action raises doubts as to the objective of redressing actual reputational harm and suggests that the aim of the proceedings exceeds that legitimate objective, aiming instead to damage Klára Dobrev’s reputation as a Member of the European Parliament; whereas, therefore, the timing, context and nature of the prosecution, including the political affiliation of the representative of the private prosecuting party and his role as a Minister, and the selective use of criminal over civil law, collectivelytogether raise serious doubts with regard to the political motivation of the proceedings on which the request was based;
