Deutsch: EC appoints 'left-wing political activist' as liaison of rule-of-law report

Ruling Fidesz MEPs have sent a letter of protest to the European Commission arguing that Gabor Magyar, appointed as liaison of the delegation preparing this year's rule-of-law report on Hungary, was "an out-and-out left-wing political activist". In a video posted on Wednesday, Fidesz EP group leader Tamas Deutsch noted that the EC had promised an unbiased 2020 rule-of-law report. He accused the EC of instead having produced "a political pamphlet" echoing the European and Hungarian left-wing's slanders against Hungary.
