In the case of Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt v. Hungary the Court found a violation of the right to freedom of expression on account of the lack of precision of the law applied in order to impose a fine on the applicant party.
The applicant, the political party Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt (the Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party), complained of being fined for making a mobile phone application available to voters enabling them to post and share photographs of spoiled ballots papers during the 2016 referendum on European Union plans for the relocation of migrants.
