Jennifer Rankin
For a moment, there is an update about the ongoing case of our Brussels correspondent Jennifer Rankin, stepping aside from French politics for a moment. Italian Mep Ilaria Salis:
The European Parliament will vote today as to whether Salis can maintain the immunity after the Hungarian officials’ demand.
Salis Detained for more than 15 months in HungaryHe was mostly released in prison, only in June 2024 after his election to the European Parliament.
In February 2023, the Hungarian authorities, who were related to the participation of an anti-fascist demonstration in Budapest, rejects the accusations of attack. He said that he was sentenced to “24 -year hard imprisonment in Hungary for his political views.
The European Parliament will also vote for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s main -challenging Hungarian -based Mep Péter Magyar in the next year’s parliamentary elections.
Establishing the Tisza Party, Magyar is accused by Hungarian officials of slander and throwing a man’s phone to the Danube River – the politically motivated charges.
The European Parliament Meeting in Strasbourg is expected to reject both immune demands, but Salis’s appearance is more uncertain.
Radikal Left MEP’s secret votes in the center of the Central Right European People’s Party needs to win the support of many MEPs. A Spanish EPP MEP, responsible for preparing an idea about the case, proposed to accept the request for lifting his immunity, but was rejected by his colleagues.
Speaking to Guardian last month, Salis said that at the February 2023 rally, the Hungarian police, who did not define themselves at the beginning, was taken to a taxi. He rejected all the charges and said he was ready to be tried in Italy.
Parliamentary immunity aims to ensure that the MEPs can carry out their work without being exposed to political persecution, ie they cannot be taken into custody or detained for any legal trial or work as expressed opinions or MEPs.

Extreme right party leader Bardella calls for parliament to solve it
Jordan Bardellaleader Extreme right party national rallyHe also supported the disintegration of the parliament and then the elections.
Bardella told France BFM TV that his party was prepared for both parliamentary elections and early presidential votes.
For those who need a refreshing to those who were yesterday (and a small date of France’s extremely dramatic political mixing…), here is an excellent explanatory by my Paris -based colleague Jon Henley:
The key section finally puts three options for Macron:
First, he could call a new prime minister. A figure from his own camp no longer seem possible, even a moderate leftist would challenge difficult pension revisions.
On the other hand, assigning an approved right will infuriate the left block. Considering the need to obtain a minimum consensus to cross a budget for this year, some analysts suggested that they could try to return to a non -party political technocrat.
Secondly, he can terminate the National Assembly and call new legislative elections.He said that he was reluctant to do it constantly, and that these surveys would probably return to another divided parliament or that he would potentially enter a far -right government.
Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, the anti -immigrant national rally, clearly said that this is the preferred option that calls Macron to decipher the parliament and to make new elections.
The last option will be to resignHowever, Le Pen has been released many times before the presidential elections in the 2027 – Le Pen with a vote, which was seen as a historical intersection in French politics.

A presidential elections do not seem possible at this point – Macron has been put aside many times before 2027 voting – But the political crisis adds uncertainty.
