The Maltese politician in charge of issuing the newest resolution against Hungary in the European Parliament was sentenced to two years in jail for the distribution of pornographic content; the politician was later suspended for two years. Cyrus Engerer, a Socialist member of the Maltese Labor Party, was found guilty in court in 2014
for the premeditated act of circulating pornographic recordings on the internet of his former romantic partner with the intent of humiliating him.
– The Malta Independent reported at the time. After the homosexual couple’s relationship ended in December of 2009, a few days later, Marvic Camilleri’s colleagues began receiving compromising images of Camilleri. The victim informed the police, suspecting that Cyrus Engerer was behind the crime, as he wanted to take revenge for their breakup.
The court also found that Engerer had threatened Camilleri: if Camilleri insisted on going to court, Engerer would release even more compromising information about him.
Cyrus Engerer managed to obtain these pornographic materials by sneaking into Camilleri’s flat (he had a key to the front door), and downloading the obscene photos and videos that Engerer himself was not even featured in. He also copied the email addresses of Camilleri’s boss and colleagues before leaving the apartment and erased any evidence of his visit.
“Cyrus Engerer’s real crime was stealing private photographs from his victim’s computer after entering his home without permission, then using those photographs to cause him harm in the eyes of his employer and his colleagues, hoping that he would lose his job or at the very least their respect. If you cannot understand what a serious crime that is, then you should question your values.”

The European Parliament’s left-liberal majority is preparing to adopt a resolution against Hungary concerning the anti-pedophilia laws. The pending EP resolution that will be presented by Cyrus Engerer, which our editors managed to access, reads “The European Parliament condemns in the strongest possible terms the law passed by the Hungarian Parliament, which clearly violates EU values, principles and law.” The Socialist MEP calls on the European Commission to not approve the COVID recovery fund for Hungary and any projects financed by the EU budget scheduled for the 2021-2027 period until it is proven that the funds do not contribute to any violation of fundamental human rights.
Four Fidesz MEPs rejected the accusations from Brussels over the child protection bill in a joint video. Balázs Hidvéghi said: the law was solely created for one purpose, to preserve the inalienable right of parents to educate their own children about sexual orientation. Every other conjecture about the bill is a lie.
