The SOC women’s group expresses its unwavering support for Zita Gurmai, longstanding member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), who has been accused of “violent obstruction of authorities”, during a peaceful manifestation.
We are deeply concerned by these baseless allegations and trust in her integrity and persistent dedication to democratic values.
The President of the SOC Women’s group, Aurora Floridia from Italy, expects the Hungarian court to dismiss this unfounded case and to ensure that justice is served free from any political influence. It is imperative that the legal process remains fair, impartial, and independent.
The SOC women’s group stands firmly with Zita Gurmai and reaffirms our commitment to defending the rights of all those who work courageously for equality, democracy and the rule of law.
