Excellent news. Now kick them out of the EU entirely.

Eerste punt:
'01 United Decisions. Trigger Art. 7 to stop Viktor Orbán’s veto and empower the Hungarian opposition. If blocked, establish a European Union 2.0.'
Thank you for that
I'd say that needs a party tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpzsZuazTpU
(Asking for a 250 year old nation on other side of Atlantic also facing rising authoritarian leadership)
Hungary seems to pretend 1956 never happened.
Demands to take away their voting rights has popped up with regular intervals for several years, but nothing has happened. I wouldn't hold my breath.....
TAG YOUR FANFICTION, FFS
Hungry is a TAKER nation, they take in way more from the EU than they contribute. Like WAY more.
They are always outside the norms of European democracy, what it means to be a democratic nation.
KICK THEM OUT OF THE EU.
The money Hungry was getting from the EU give it to Ukrain
... sigh,that means the US too (on other issues)

The republican ineptitude needs to be poked until it shows itself to every one of it's 31.78% of adult Americans.

the only thing is to deny voting rights, but i am not sure Slowakia will vote for it (it needs to be unanimously)
the other sanction is to hold back money, which already happens
btw, money is the only reason they’re still in
There are 21 Hungarian members of parliament from 5 different Hungarian parties divided over 4 different groups in parliament.
If you are referring to the latest proposal to invoke article 7, you have misunderstood completely.
Imprison #Trump, what a bastard.

Just delete this.
It
a) doesn't equate to Parliament agreeing this
b) even if it did, this isn't Parliament's decision to make.
so this is pure nonsense and should be deleted.

Surely you can separate the Government from the people of Hungary?
Why would you want them to suffer?
Trump is almost copying what Orban has done to Hungary.
Media, institutions, corruption, voter suppression…
UK GE 2024 was 59%
Now use your Google powers to find out how many people live in Hungary.
Also maybe check out the Orban government itself.
Then tell me in your best why the people of Hungary deserve Putin.
Don’t hold back on your fascism!
The Hungarian people have it within their power to get shot of this mob. They are happy to sit back and take from EU but put little real effort into forcing him out.
You have to fight for better.
The only thing I can find about the EU blocking Hungary is Ursula von der Leyen's "ReArm Europe", a proposal for rearmament designed to be unstoppable by Hungary.
Kick them out.
And then instead of kicking the U.S. out of NATO, and thus wasting time on another Trump Tantrum, the EU can just quietly set up a parallel defense group that slowly improves until not even lip service need be paid to. . . .my country.
That's my take.

But looks like they might've got hold of the wrong end of the stick about some Volt MEPs calling for EU to remove Hungary voting rights (again)

So it’s not even a formally adopted parliamentary resolution, just a party political wish list 🙄
Fact me til I fart.

Whenever anyone posts a "breaking news story" that doesn't cite any source, our first instinct should be disbelief.
I won't unfollow. I'll block. We don't need this. Hopefully that will also stop reposts.
they've already intimated they might leave...
