In the seventh point of the 23-point decision of December 6 of the Romanian Constitutional Court (CCR) (in which the first round of the Romanian presidential election was invalidated), we find an interesting reference:
surprisingly, they refer to the Gergely Karácsony et al. v. Hungary lawsuit.
What does this lawsuit have to do with the Romanian presidential elections? That’s a very good question, we can’t decide at first either. Let’s see exactly what they refer to in the seventh point.
“7.The right to vote and the right to be elected are of essential importance from the point of view of creating and maintaining the foundations of a true and effective constitutional democracy under the rule of law (see, by definition, paragraph 141 of the judgment in the case of Karácsony et al. v. Hungary of May 17, 2016), and these are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Court therefore states that voting rights are fundamental rights of a political nature, essential conditions for democracy and the democratic functioning of the state, and can be exercised in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution and laws.”
Hungary ultimately lost this lawsuit. The lawsuit was initiated by representatives Gergely Karácsony and Péter Szilágyi,as well as Dávid Dorosz and Rebeka Szabó,and they sued the Hungarian state because in 2013 Speaker of the House László Kövér proposed imposing a fine of HUF 235,000 on Karácsony and his fellow MP,Péter Szilágyi,for a “You steal,you cheat,you lie!” a sign with the inscription was presented to the government party members in the meeting room. In the lawsuit, the members of parliament claimed that the decisions regarding the fines imposed on them because of their parliamentary behavior violated their right to freedom of expression, in violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on human Rights.
This is understandable up to this point, the only question is, how is the lawsuit initiated by hungarian members of parliament due to fines related to the right to vote and the right to be elected, as referred to by the Romanian Constitutional Court?
The short answer is no way. It is likely that the name of Hungary appears in the decision of the Romanian Constitutional Court only so that the name of Hungary appears literally in their delicate decision. Maybe to be mentioned on the same page together with Russia, China and South Africa accused of election meddling by the Romanian secret services, in order to create the impression that Hungary may also be indirectly involved in the coup d’état in the Romanian elections.
