“‘As I have already said several times, I hope that Parliament will choose to defend the rule of law and human rights without giving in to the arrogance of an “illiberal democracy” in an autocratic drift which, also through the mouths of its own leaders, has already declared guilty me on several occasions before sentencing,’ Salis continued in the note, stressing that “the minimum conditions for a fair trial to take place in Hungary do not exist.’”

“‘It is no coincidence that the request was transmitted to the Parliament on October 10, the day after my speech in the Plenary on the Hungarian presidency, when I harshly criticized Orbán’s actions,’ Salis said in a press release, adding sarcastically, ‘Evidently, tyrants have a hard time digesting criticism.’”

Here’s an idea: how about we lift Hungary’s EU membership instead and tell Orban in no uncertain terms that he can go fuck himself?
