The European Parliament has lifted András Kulja's immunity.

The European Parliament voted to lift the immunity of András Kulja, a representative of the Tisza Party, who requested the suspension himself. This follows his controversial statements regarding ventilator procurements during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to legal actions from Péter Takács, a former health secretary. The court deemed Kulja's remarks as politically grounded opinions rather than factual claims. The immunity suspension is not an indication of guilt but rather a measure to prevent political interference in legal proceedings. The legal committee found no likelihood of undermining Kulja's political activities, leading to the Parliament's decision.
