These Groups have already made their judgement before the end of this process. This is the authoritarian method. This is the method which is against European values. With the adoption of this premature and groundless Resolution, the Left and Liberal parties of the EP are undermining Hungarian people's trust in the European Union and the credibility of the European Parliament", declared Kinga Gál MEP, Vice-Chairwoman of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee (LIBE) of the European Parliament, and Simon Busuttil MEP, EPP Group Coordinator in the LIBE Committee, after the vote on the Resolution on Hungary.
