Hungarian lawmakers move to curb power of EU Parliament

Euronews says HUNGARY has moved to curb the powers of the European Union (EU) Tuesday.

Lawmakers in the country passed a resolution calling for the power of the EU Parliament to be reduced, claiming it had brought European democracy into a “dead end.”

Passed by members of Hungary’s Fidesz party, which is headed by Viktor Orbán, the resolution wants to give the country’s parliament the ability to torpedo legislation proposed at the EU level. 

This would reduce the ability of the European Parliament to make laws affecting Hungary and undermine the power of the bloc more generally.
