The delegation of the Committee on Civil Liberties in the European Parliament continues its tour with a mission in Budapest to check the situation with the rule of law, the state of the media, the rights of minorities. Earlier, MEPs visited Slovakia and Bulgaria.
„What I saw in Bulgaria is that the problems are huge, they reach very deep, they affect different parts of society. In addition, I saw and I am very encouraged by the fact that there are many people who are determined to change Bulgaria, to reform the country. I realize that this will not be an easy process, but I have faith in the determination of these people,“ said the head of the delegation, Sophie in’t Veld, in an interview for Europe at a Glance.
