Orban calls on EC to suspend infringement procedures 'underminig integrity, security'

Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday called on the European Commission to suspend all infringement procedures that would "undermine Member States' actions aiming at the protection of their territorial and national integrity, as well as the security of their citizens". In a letter sent to EC president Ursula von der Leyen on Monday, Orban said "the situation that is unfolding on the eastern borders of the Union from hour to hour and the debates that have been going on between the Commission and Hungary have left some crucial questions unanswered."
