Would America Flunk by Brussels's Standards?

The European Commission is taking Hungary to court over the national law on the protection of sovereignty. The Commission maintains that the law violates norms of EU legislation. According to constitutional lawyer Zoltan Lomnici Jr., the US has stricter rules on sovereignty protection, so when Brussels attacks the Hungarian law, it is in fact also criticizing the US legislation. The Sovereignty Protection Office was established under the Sovereignty Protection Act and its main tasks include the investigation of specific activities serving the interests of other states or foreign entities and that may violate or even threaten Hungary's sovereignty. Investigations also cover foreign-backed organizations operating in Hungary whose activities may influence the outcome of democratic elections.
