Referring to the issue of whether abstentions were counted or disregarded under European parliamentary rules in the vote to open the Article 7 procedure against Hungary, the head of the Prime Minister's Office said on Thursday that the government's assessment was that the Sargentini report did not receive the required two-thirds majority. Under the EU's Lisbon Treaty, a vote by two-thirds of MEPs would have been required for the report's approval, and abstentions should have also been taken into account in the vote tally, Gergely Gulyas told a press conference. With the abstentions counted, the report would have failed to secure a two-thirds majority, he said. Gulyas said he did not believe that the EP's house rules contained any provisions saying that abstentions should not be counted in a vote.
