Opposition: Hungarian Parliament blocks proposal for independent inquiry into child sex abuse in Catholic church
Parliament’s justice committee has thrown out a bid to establish a committee comprising civilians and church members to investigate sex abuse against children committed within the Hungarian Catholic Church in recent years, opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) officials told an online press briefing on Thursday.
Ágnes Vadai, the party’s vice president, said DK now planned to take the matter to the legislative committee, and failing that, raise it in a plenary session.
László Sebián-Petrovszki, the (DK) deputy chairman of the justice committee, said that the committee also rejected a proposal to require the President of the Republic to justify any future clemency decisions.
