Balázs Hídvéghi: Péter Magyar skipped key EP vote on “extremist Antifa” Ilaria Salis’s immunity

Péter Magyar did not take part in the European Parliament vote that decided — by just one vote — that “extremist Antifa member” Ilaria Salis could keep her parliamentary immunity, Ministerial Cabinet Office State Secretary Balázs Hidvéghi said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

“Just one vote! That’s all it took for Ilaria Salis — this extremist Antifa activist who brutally attacked Hungarian citizens on the streets of Budapest — to keep her immunity,” Hidvéghi wrote.

He added that if Péter Magyar, president of the Tisza Party and member of the European Parliament, had attended the vote and stood by the Hungarian people, “this violent, hate-driven woman would be in prison today.”

The state secretary said there was no excuse for Magyar’s absence, calling it “yet another moral low point for Péter Magyar.”

“It literally depended on him that this criminal now escapes punishment for beating innocent people bloody,” Hidvéghi stressed, describing the situation as a disgrace.
