Justice ministry calls on opposition to 'stop misleading public' on Istanbul Convention ratification

The justice ministry on Tuesday issued a statement calling on opposition parties to stop "the deliberate and perpetual misguidance" of the Hungarian public as regards Hungary's ratification of the Istanbul Convention. In previous years, the Council of Europe's rights commissioner and EP delegations urged Hungarian authorities to ratify the CoE's 2011 convention on preventing and combating violence against women.
