Magyar Péter’s immunity case now draws more focus in the European Parliament legal committee. The case began last June when someone stole his mobile phone. The legal steps move slowly, and a final decision will take several months.
At the last meeting on January 23, the committee spoke but did not allow Magyar Péter to share his side. This point raises worry about how the case runs. Experts like Iffia Blomlizi Zoltán, who guides legal matters at a research center, point out that the Brussels committee works at a slow pace. They often call out national prosecutors for delays.
The slow progress brings up many questions. European rules say that stealing a mobile phone is a crime. Yet, the reasons for suspending his immunity stay unclear. So far, the committee has listed 68 cases for discussion. Fast decisions now seem likely next month, when they plan to listen to Magyar Péter.
Many committee members share doubts about the political setting affecting the process. They suspect that political aims may lie behind the move to suspend immunity. Some note that the justice office acts on its own in ways that hint at political signals. Iffia Blomlizi Zoltán added that the situation causes doubts about fair law and touches on political control and the spread of views.
During the meeting, members mentioned that future choices will stress positions held over the laws. Magyar Péter’s immunity case sits in the middle of these heated debates. At the same time, the public prosecutor quietly watches the process, a fact that may add more pressure to an already tense situation.
In all, the ongoing delay in Magyar Péter’s case is not just a legal matter. It links tightly with Hungary’s political scene. In the EU, applying legal rules while mixed with political aims puts law experts in a tight spot, and the progress of this case will be watched carefully in the coming months.
