More on Immunity

December 2, 2020

Here’s an example, from abroad, of what I was talking about in the prior post:

An MEP from Hungary’s ruling party, which is hostile to LGBT rights, has quit after he was caught attending what Belgian media describe as a gay sex party in Brussels on Friday.

Jozsef Szajer, a top member of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party, was stopped by police after reports of a house party violating lockdown rules.

Prosecutors say he was found with drugs as he tried to flee the gathering, reportedly shinning down a drainpipe.

He apologised for “a personal failing”.

On Friday he had pleaded parliamentary immunity but he is now under investigation – for both non-compliance with measures relating to the Covid-19 pandemic and violation of drug laws.

The European Parliament said the immunity rule only extended to an MEP’s official duties, not to their private life.” BBC World News 12/02/20
