András Kulja requested to suspend his European parliamentary immunity
A representative from the Tisza Party has requested the suspension of their parliamentary immunity to allow a court decision in a private prosecution initiated by former health secretary Péter Takács. This legal dispute stems from a Facebook post made by András Kulja, raising questions about ventilator purchases during the pandemic and potential conflicts of interest. Takács defended his actions regarding his brother-in-law's employment and denied any wrongdoing. The civil court ruled in favor of Kulja, stating his comments were valid political opinions. Takács did not appeal the decision, prompting Kulja to seek a resolution in the criminal proceedings as well.
