MPs suspend Hadházy’s immunity



Independent MP Ákos Hadházy downplayed concerns after Parliament suspended his immunity from prosecution on Monday, calling it “a simple little screw-up”.

He joked on Facebook that the process just means “running around in Nyíregyháza,” where at least he has relatives and sights to see.

Hadházy and several Momentum MPs are facing charges; Momentum members for allegedly damaging property by breaking through a police cordon, and Hadházy for defamation and libel.

The charges against Hadházy stem from social media posts last year about Fidesz MP Miklós Simon and his wife, Nyírbogát’s mayor Ildikó Rizsák.

Despite the legal developments, Hadházy appears unfazed, keeping a light tone in his public response.
