Hungary has requested the European Parliament to lift the immunity of Italian MEP Ilaria Salis, who was imprisoned for attacking right-wing activists. The request was raised by Hungarian MEPs from Fidesz during a session in Strasbourg. Salis, convicted of attempted assault during a protest in Budapest, has denied the charges. The situation has led to diplomatic tensions between Hungary and Italy, with Salis criticizing Hungary's judicial system. Hungarian officials have defended the request, labeling Salis as a 'common thug'. The European Parliament will deliberate on the request, a process expected to take several months.
