EU increases pressure on Hungary over rules restricting migration
- Country:
- Hungary
The European Commission said on Thursday it was intensifying its legal procedure against Hungary over Budapest's criminalising of support for migrants, moving the case closer to a possible ruling by the European Court of Justice.
"The European Commission has today decided to send a reasoned opinion to Hungary concerning legislation that criminalises activities that support asylum and residence applications and further restricts the right to request asylum," the EU executive said in a statement.
