I think we need to distinguish between a political prisoner and a politician in prison. The two are not the same.

Sophie Wilmès, a Renew Europe group member, led a delegation to Hungary to assess the rule of law situation. The group met with various stakeholders and noted some positive changes, although concerns remain. They aimed to discuss political prisoners but faced restrictions on meeting certain individuals. The delegation highlighted ongoing political divisions and the need for a more proportional electoral system. Wilmès emphasized the importance of respecting the rule of law regardless of who is in power. The final report will contribute to the European Parliament's stance on Hungary's rule of law proceedings, although it won't directly address the ongoing Article 7 procedure.
