- Second CJEU ruling against Hungarian civil society restriction legislation — confirms pattern of repeated EU legal defeats followed by minimal compliance. Cross-reference SIG-HUN-004 (CJEU LexNGO ruling 2020) — same adaptive non-compliance pattern in response.

- excerpt
- The CJEU rules that Hungary's Stop Soros law breaches EU law, following infringement proceedings brought by the European Commission. The court makes clear that threatening people with criminal penalties for providing assistance to asylum seekers violates EU standards. Hungary subsequently makes only minor amendments in December 2022, leaving the core criminalization provisions intact — a pattern of symbolic compliance identical to the LexNGO response.
