Hungarian Parliament suspends opposition politician’s immunity
Members of parliament on Monday voted to suspend the immunity of Antal Csárdi, a lawmaker of the opposition LMP, meeting a request by the public prosecutor in connection with charges that he obstructed traffic and disobeyed police during a demonstration at a battery plant near Budapest.
The protest mounted by the green party took place at the battery plant in Göd, north of Budapest, on 3 June, and Csárdi was charged with standing in the road for a prolonged period of time, where he held a live video stream while also ignoring a police instruction to get off the road. The motion was supported by 132 lawmakers in favour, 38 against and 1 abstention.
