EU, Salis: ‘EP vote on immunity is an important and positive signal’

Milan, Sept. 23 (LaPresse) – “Today, the Juri Committee decided to defend my immunity and the independence of Parliament, rejecting the request for its revocation made by the Hungarian regime. It is an important and positive signal.” This is what Ilaria Salis, the MEP of Avs, wrote in a post on social media platform X. “I am fully confident that Parliament will confirm this decision in the October plenary, affirming the centrality of the rule of law and democratic guarantees,” she added. “I reiterate: defending my immunity does not mean evading justice, but protecting myself from the political persecution of Orbán’s regime. That is why its protection is essential. The Italian authorities remain free to open proceedings against me, as I hope and strongly request.”
