Hungary’s Eurosceptic premier has blocked increasing number of Ukraine-related decisions
European capitals are drawing up ways to insulate EU decisions from Viktor Orbán’s increasing use of vetoes as Hungary takes over the bloc’s rotating presidency on July 1. The Hungarian prime minister in recent months blocked or delayed a record number of foreign and security policy issues that require unanimity, in part as a way to force access to EU funds frozen over rule of law concerns.
In addition to the Belgian proposals, other capitals have floated boycotting ministerial meetings that are held in Hungary, and producing confidential annexes to EU documents that outline alternative routes to reach an agreement among the bloc’s other 26 members. Some capitals are openly discussing the nuclear option of advancing an ongoing so-called Article 7 procedure against Hungary which can culminate with the stripping of its voting rights.
