After months of delay, Türkiye voted for Sweden to join NATO. The last obstacle for Stockholm: the green light from Hungary. The country has been supportive in principle, but has been slow to officially recognize the decision. THAT The Prime Minister of Hungary, the nationalist Viktor Orban, said this Wednesday “that his government supported the Swedish candidacy”, but MPs will not meet until mid-February and the issue is not on the agenda at this stage.
The rest after this announcement
This is hardly the first time that Viktor Orban’s Hungary of the conservative national party Fidesz has played hardball in Europe. In power since 2010, he speaks out “systematically in dissonance with other EU member states,” explains Parisian Evgeniy Kryzhanovsky, a doctor of political sciences and researcher at the University of Strasbourg. Budapest has recently opposed Ukraine’s entry into the EU, aid payments to the country suffering from Russian invasion, and even European migration reforms.
