The Hungarian government has decided to adopt a resolution in support of Poland and to “condemn ignoble attacks by Brussels”, Justice Minister Judit Varga announced.

Varga said on Facebook that the European Commission had launched a “harsh attack on Poland, as yet unprecedentedly interfering with the administration of justice and legislation of a sovereign member state”. She added that the procedure was “shocking” and “unacceptable”.

The minister argued that the Polish government had indicated its intention to drop a contested rule concerning the disciplinary council of the Polish supreme court, but the Commission “ignored the Polish pledge and questioned the Polish government’s commitment and initiated imposition of a coercive fine”.
