"Today, the Juri Committee decided to defend my immunity and the independence of Parliament, and to reject the request for revocation made by the Hungarian regime. This is an important and positive signal. I am fully confident that Parliament will confirm this decision in the October plenary session, affirming the centrality of the rule of law and democratic guarantees. Defending my immunity does not mean evading justice, but protecting myself from political persecution by the Orbán regime. That is why its protection is essential. The Italian authorities remain free to open proceedings against me, as I myself hope and strongly request."
