European Commission sues Hungary over "national sovereignty" law in EU's top court.

The European Commission is suing Hungary in the EU's top court over its "national sovereignty" law, which critics say undermines democracy and targets dissent. This law restricts foreign funding for political campaigns and allows the state to investigate organizations suspected of threatening national integrity. The U.S. has called it "draconian." If found in violation, Hungary could face significant financial penalties, adding to a previous €200 million fine for breaching EU asylum law.
