Hungary slams EU’s Reding over judicial criticism

Hungary’s government expressed its “deep outrage” Thursday over recent criticism of its judiciary by EU justice Commissioner Viviane Reding.

In a March 9 article in the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reding said Ireland‘s reluctance to extradite an Irish national to Hungary over a fatal car crash was “understandable”.

“I was not surprised – after all, this was precisely during the time when many decisions were taken in Hungary which raised serious questions about the independence of the Hungarian justice system,” Reding said.
