Magyar willing to waive immunity ‘if Hungary joins the European Public Prosecutor’s Office’

Written by BT/MTI

Leader of the opposition Tisza Party Peter Magyar has said he would be willing to waive his immunity if Hungary were to sign up to join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.

In a post on Facebook on Sunday, Magyar addressed the prime minister, insisting that “half of the state apparatus” was filing legal action against him every day, “while you are systematically tearing our country apart”. He also suggested that the PM and the public prosecutor were working in cahoots with one another.

He vowed that if government were to vote for Hungary to join the European Prosecutor’s Office, he would waive his right to immunity.

“Do we have a deal, prime minister? Let’s see if you or I end up in the cold … the sun never shines through a prison window…”
