Defending democracy requires a free civil society

230 NGOs, also #ourRAREpeople, oppose plans for an EU law on foreign interference. We worry that its unintended side effects would hinder #civilsociety in defending #democracy #humanrights in 🇪🇺 & beyond. http://civilsocietyeurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/230-Civil-Society-Organisations-Statement-on-EU-Foreign-Interference-Law.pdf

The technical deal between 🇪🇺@EU_Commission & 🇭🇺 government has some positive steps to strengthen an independent judiciary. How it is rammed through parliament for a vote today breaches HU lawmaking rules and EU milestones.

Breaching milestones to meet judicial super milestones is not the right way to ensure Hungary's access to EU funds. We asked @dreynders to urge the HU government majority not to pass the law in a parliamentary process that was not open and inclusive. https://helsinki.hu/en/parliamentary-process-of-the-bill-on-judicial-super-milestones-breaches-lawmaking-rules/

🇭🇺 Gov fails to comply with over half of the #ruleoflaw conditions of accessing EU funds; RRF super milestones & conditionality measures are yet to be fulfilled. We show with fellow local anti-corruption and human rights watchdogs what's missing: https://helsinki.hu/en/the-hungarian-government-is-yet-to-comply-with-conditions-to-access-eu-funds/
The Hungarian government is yet to comply with conditions to access EU funds

As of the end of the first quarter of 2023, the Hungarian government is yet to comply with most of the conditions established by European Union institutions to access EU funds. According to Hungarian civil society organisations, the Government had not yet taken adequate steps in order to fully address the rule of law and human rights concerns raised by the EU, and so numerous issues related to the anti-corruption framework, judicial independence, law-making, the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers, academic freedom and the rights of LGBTQI+ persons remain unresolved. Swift measures are necessary in all of these areas to ensure that the country and its citizens are granted access to EU funds.

Today the head of state @KatalinNovakMP decided not to sign this into law and asked parliament to reconsider due to its vague wording, unclear application and consequences and that it weakens the level of rights protection. She wants these parts to be deleted from the law. Good.
