Hungarian MEP Márton Gyöngyösi (Non-Attached Member of the European Parliament) posted a press release about the protection of personal data of EU citizens from the Chinese Communist State Police.

“I have complained to the Sovereignty Protection Bureau about the Chinese police officers.

Today, as an independent MEP and as the President of the Jobbik Conservatives, I have submitted a petition to the Sovereignty Protection Bureau regarding the Chinese police officers coming to our country.

There is no guarantee that the Chinese Communist Party will not use its police forces to monitor first Chinese citizens living in China and then Hungarian citizens, nor is there any guarantee that sensitive data of Hungarian and EU citizens will not fall into the hands of the Chinese police and the Chinese state.

As an independent Member of the European Parliament and as President of the Jobbik Conservatives, my position is that the state police of the Chinese Communist dictatorship have no place in the European Union and in Hungary, and the presence of Chinese police is a serious threat to the sovereignty of the European Union and our country, as well as to the security and protection of the personal data of the citizens of the Union. I am therefore petitioning the Sovereignty Protection Bureau to investigate the threat posed by the Chinese police and to take the necessary measures.”
