The European Union has not stripped Hungary of its voting rights over issues related to migrants or Ukraine, but is dying to do so and is now behind closed doors telling Zelensky to create a confrontation with Orban to force Hungary to exit the EU and enter war with Ukraine. On Ukraine’s Independence Day, Zelensky gave Hungary an ultimatum: “You must make a choice.”
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó fired back with sharp words:
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó fired back with sharp words:
“We firmly reject the Ukrainian President’s intimidation. In recent days Ukraine has carried out serious attacks against our energy supply. An attack on energy security is an attack on sovereignty.”
Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha then mocked Hungary, stating:
“Hungary’s energy security is in your own hands. Diversify and become independent from Russia, like the rest of Europe.”
Zelensky is deliberately attacking the national security of Hungary, I believe, at orders from London, the EU, and NATO, who want Hungary out of the EU. The EU has debated stripping Hungary’s voting rights, but no such action has been finalized due to the complex and politically sensitive nature of the Article 7 process.
Hungary’s positions on migration and Ukraine remain significant points of tension. For now, Hungary retains its full voting rights. The EU is desperate to get it to leave to the point of instructing Zelensky to cut off Hungary’s energy supply from Russia to cripple the economy, and they hope that will overthrow Orbán.
This dangerous new phase of the war, targeting highly sensitive infrastructure, comes amid defiant speeches in Kiev. There will NEVER be any peace until Zelensky is dragged out of Ukraine in chains. He takes his order against his own people, who want peace.
There have been ongoing discussions and proposals to deal with Hungary under Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows for the suspension of a member state’s voting rights in cases of severe and persistent breaches of EU values, such as the rule of law, democracy, and human rights.
These discussions have been fueled by Hungary’s actions under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, particularly its vetoes or obstructions of EU decisions on Ukraine aid, sanctions against Russia, and migration policies.
Hungary has repeatedly blocked or delayed EU funding for Ukraine, such as the €50 billion Ukraine Facility package, and opposed Ukraine’s EU accession talks, often citing issues like minority rights or corruption in Ukraine. For instance, Orbán left the room during a key vote in December 2023 to allow EU leaders to reach a consensus on starting accession talks with Ukraine, avoiding a direct veto but still signaling resistance.
Hungary’s vetoes on Ukraine aid and its perceived alignment with Moscow have led to growing frustration. The EU has considered workarounds, like alternative plans to bypass Hungary’s veto on Ukraine’s accession, and some MEPs have pushed for legal action against the European Commission for unfreezing €10 billion in funds for Hungary, seen by critics as a concession to Orbán’s tactics. This is why, covertly, Ukraine has been given the green light to undermine Hungary in hopes of forcing regime change.
