EU to initiate legal action against Hungary over ‘sovereignty law’

Hungary has been accused of breaching foundational laws of the European Union including democracy. The EU commission particularly took aim at Hungary's law which intends to 'protect national sovereignty'. The EU says the law violates the union's democratic values and fundamental rights. The EU commission has warned Hungary it will open an infringement procedure over the law. Hungary's ruling right wing party says the law is necessary to protect the nation against foreign political interference.
