The initiative originates from German Green Party MEP Daniel Freund, who demanded that the European Union invoke Article 7 to punish Hungary for not supporting the joint declaration on Ukraine.
Strengthen Europe. Step 1: Stip Orban of his veto! Article 7 NOW!
– the MEP wrote on X.
In response, State Secretary Zoltan Kovacs called Mr. Freund “the madman of the continent.”
Biggest threat to Europe: the madmen of the continent like Daniel…
– the state secretary in charge of international communication wrote.
As previously reported, the Hungarian prime minister has emphsized that Hungary remains on the side of peace.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban sent a letter to Antonio Costa, President of the European Council, requesting that the heads of state and government at the Brussels EU summit refrain from adopting written conclusions on Ukraine. The reason: irreconcilable strategic differences regarding support for Ukraine.
