EU sues Hungary for criminalising groups that receive foreign funding, including NGOs

The EU is suing Hungary for laws that critics claim silence government opponents, referring the matter to the European Court of Justice.
The "Sovereignty Protection Act," effective December 2023, grants a government authority broad powers to investigate foreign-funded groups.
The European Commission states the law violates rights to privacy, freedom of speech, assembly, and presumption of innocence, raising concerns about its impact on civil society.
