(CNN) -- The European Commission warned Hungary Tuesday it faces legal action over controversial reforms introduced by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the move reflects its determination to see that EU law is fully respected.

"We hoped that the Hungarian authorities would make the changes necessary to guarantee respect of EU law," he said in a statement. "This has not been the case so far, therefore we have decided to begin infringement proceedings."

The actions concerns three issues, he said: the independence of the national central bank, the retirement age of judges, and the independence of the country's data protection authority. The commission is also seeking more information in regard to the independence of the judiciary, Barroso said.

So since when has it been so that a country can't decide by itself what age its people can retire? Or is it so unaccetable when Hungary wants to find out what its own Central Bank is doing? Why won't the EU Commission leave Hungary alone and let it manage its own affairs?

The human rights organization has been critical of sections that define life as beginning at conception and marriage as being between a man and a woman. ...

Really now. How is that violating anyone's human rights?...
