Justice minister: Hungary opts out of European public prosecutor's office

Following the recommendation of parliament, the Hungarian government has decided not to participate in the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) or the strengthened cooperation among EU prosecutors, Justice Minister Judit Varga said on Facebook on Tuesday. She said the decision was a question of sovereignty, insisting that the setting up of the new office was a way for Brussels to take over more powers from member states.
