The European Union has stripped Hungary of the right to host the next meeting of foreign and defence ministers over its stance on the war in Ukraine.
It comes weeks after Hungary assumed the presidency of the Council of the European Union, a role in which it would normally host the event, and amid anger over a meeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban held with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month.
The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said Hungary’s actions should have consequences and that “we have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal”.
Hungary described the move as “completely childish”.
Agreed. As a Euro, they need to be taken care of. Permanently. Throw them out, shut off all talks with Turkey, too. We don’t want either of them.
Good thing people like you don’t get to make geopolitical decisions.
Ah yeah, I’m sure “people like you” would do a much better job. Oh wait, your kind is why things are in the shitter.
Would do a much better job by throwing out the second biggest military (after the US) out of NATO. Or establish a precedent on throwing out countries you don’t like out of the EU, basically telling everyone “you can’t be a sovereign country because we can throw you out when we don’t like what you are doing”.
Good job mr President
Wouldn’t being thrown out the equivalent of getting back their sovereignty according to populists? Not just looking at UK… Populists shout that EU takes their sovereignty away but that is just for electoral gain, there is a reason why so many new countries want IN, including Turkey. That’s also why Orban’s stance is a fucking bluff
