Denmark wants to strip Hungary of its voting rights in the EU for violating the bloc’s fundamental rights.
This was reported by Politico, citing Danish Minister of European Affairs Marie Bierre.
It is noted that Denmark wants Europe to use the entire legal arsenal against Hungary for violating the bloc’s fundamental rights, in particular, to use Article 7 of the EU Treaty, which allows for the suspension of voting rights for a member of the Union.
Minister Bierre believes that the EU should restrict access to Union money for countries that violate European law. In particular, this concerns Hungary.
In addition, she condemned Hungary’s blockade of Ukraine’s EU membership, stating that Denmark “is ready to consider all political and practical solutions so that we can move forward.”
It was previously reported that the introduction of the 18th package of EU sanctions against Russia is currently blocked due to the positions of Slovakia and Hungary .
By the way, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban once again spoke out against Ukraine’s European integration, citing the ongoing war as the main reason .
