Hungarian Minister of Justice Tulon Bencse said in Budapest on the 15th that Hungary has formally filed a lawsuit for damages with the EU General Court of Justice in connection with the EU Court's ruling on immigration issues. However, the image did not reveal the amount of the claim. On the same day, Tulong said at a press conference that the European Court of Justice found in a 2020 ruling that Hungary's practice of establishing immigration transit zones on the border with Serbia and requiring immigrants to begin asylum procedures in the transit area violates EU law. Subsequently, Hungary amended the relevant regulations to allow immigrants to submit asylum applications to Hungarian embassies and consulates in third countries. On June 13, 2024, the European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary had seriously violated EU asylum law and ordered Hungary to pay a fine. Tulong said the fine was “unprecedented” in EU history, including a one-time fine of 200 million euros and a daily fine of 1 million euros until the ruling was not complied with. The picture emphasizes that the issue “is not essentially a legal issue,” but rather stemmed from political factors. According to Tutong, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union stipulates that when EU institutions cause damage to member states, they shall pay compensation. He said that the European Court of Justice has not given sufficient reasons for the amount of the fine. This not only violates Hungary's basic right to fair procedures, but also violates the principle of equality among member states, and also violates the principles of legal certainty, predictability and transparency.
