Overview

• The plenary rejected Hungary’s request 306–305, with 17 abstentions and 628 MEPs present.
• The ballot was secret, and a challenge to repeat the vote over a reported technical issue was dismissed by President Roberta Metsola.
• The EPP backed revocation, arguing the case predates Salis’s mandate, but the result points to defections or decisive independent votes.
• JURI had narrowly advised 13–12 to maintain immunity, citing evidence of fumus persecutionis targeting Salis’s political activity.
• Hungary accuses Salis of assaulting neo‑Nazis at a 2023 Budapest event, allegations she rejects while framing the case as political persecution.
