Some good news, at least provisionally, for Gino, the antifascist who was arrested in France a few months ago on a Hungarian warrant based on allegations of violence against Nazis in Budapest in Feb. 2023.
Gino's lawyers filed a motion against extradition to Hungary on the basis that the Hungarian courts are not in a position to give Gino a fair trial, and the French court accepted that motion. The French court has asked Hungarian officials for additional information regarding possible prison conditions as well as whether or not there would be any chance that Gino would get a trial based on actual facts, rather than on his political orientation. Hungary has 15 days to respond, and there is another hearing scheduled for February 12.
This is a hopeful development in part because it is a reminder of Gabri's case last year in Italy. Gabri was also arrested on a Hungarian warrant arising from the same events in Budapest in 2023, but an Italian court ruled that, no, he couldn't get a fair trial and wouldn't be held under humane conditions if he were extradited, so the Italian court just let him go.
It remains to be seen what will happen next for Gino, but at least for the next several weeks he won't be going to Hungary.
