EP Maintains Immunity for Left-Wing MEP Ilaria Salis Despite Accusations of Violence

- Despite the charges, Salis claimed that defending her immunity is protecting herself from political persecution by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government.
- Hungary requested the lifting of Salis' immunity for prosecution, but the final decision will be made by the full European Parliament at an upcoming session in October.
