BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's new sovereignty law could have "a chilling effect" on free and democratic debate in the country, a panel of constitutional law experts from the Council of Europe, a human rights watchdog, said on Tuesday.
Hungary's parliament passed a law in December which the ruling right-wing Fidesz party said would prevent undue interference in national politics by foreign persons or groups.
