Decision on European Union, the existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded

This procedure concerns a proposal to determine if Hungary is at risk of seriously breaching the fundamental values of the European Union. It is based on Article 7(1) of the Treaty on European Union, which allows the EU to address systemic threats to the rule of law and democratic principles within a member state.

If the procedure progresses, it could lead to sanctions against Hungary, including the potential suspension of certain voting rights in the Council of the European Union.
