Hungarian legal system faces arson case and ministerial clash

A man was charged with aggravated damage after setting fire to a police patrol car parked at the Gödöllő Police Headquarters on June 2, prompting a swift response from fire services that prevented the blaze from spreading.

Former President of the Constitutional Court, Péter Polt, rebuked Environment Minister László Gajdós for alleging criminal responsibility without presenting evidence, emphasizing that any criminal liability must be established by an independent court under the law.
