Hungarian member votes against Venice Commission opinion on Poland
Budapest (MTI) – András Varga Zs of Hungary was the only member of the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission who voted against a report on Poland adopted by the pan-European rights body on Friday.
The report said that the recent law amendments limiting the efficiency of the Polish Constitutional Court undermined democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Poland.
Varga, who is member of Hungary’s Constitutional Court, told MTI on Saturday that he opposed the report for its “one-sidedness” and its failure to take into account fully the actions of Poland’s head of state Andrzej Duda in connection with changes in the makeup of the court.
