    Hungarian here. I fully support this movement, however for some context, the upkept veto had a valid reason (not from Orban, he can perish in the cells).

    Some years prior the war Ukraine took away significant minority language rights from everyone, like not having schools, exams in hungarian and others anymore.

      EU membership surely would come have with minority rights, so I don’t see the point in blocking.

        I’m not well knowledgable about the EU rules as well that much, but maybe. Atleast this minority right issue got resolved pretty instantly.

      Hopefully this move will help Hungary and Ukraine work on their issues together!

    To be honest I didn’t think the new Magyar gov had it in them. Hats off to them, things really are changing.

    Europe must support the defender of European democracy financially.
