The European Commission has taken Hungary to court over a controversial law aimed at protecting 'national sovereignty,' which NGOs claim targets opposition voices. The lawsuit follows unsatisfactory responses from Budapest and transfers the case to the EU's top court in Luxembourg. The law, supported by Viktor Orbán's ruling party, establishes the Sovereignty Protection Office (SPO) to investigate individuals and organizations suspected of undermining national sovereignty. Critics argue the law lacks judicial oversight and threatens democratic values. The U.S. and various organizations have condemned the law, highlighting ongoing tensions between Brussels and Budapest.
