Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, claimed that 26 EU member states would have deprived Hungary of its veto right if PM Orbán had blocked the country’s EU accession this week.
According to the English version of Ukrainian Pravda, Ms Stefanishyna said that there was an official procedure which Brussels has never exercised yet. But it would result in taking away a country’s veto right in the EU. She added that Orbán was satisfied after the summit since the EU unblocked EUR 10 billion.

Hungary’s foreign minister called Polish counterpart but evaded to talk about hot topics
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Friday congratulated Radoslaw Sikorski on his appointment as Poland’s new foreign minister.
Following a phone call with Sikorski, Szijjártó said on Facebook that they “see eye to eye on more things than we would have thought”.
“I wished him much success since the success of brotherly Poland is in the interest of Hungary,” Szijjártó said.
Both parties consider the Visegrád Group as instrumental in promoting shared national interests, Szijjártó said, adding that they were also in agreement concerning the importance of border control.

I would change the headline to read “Russia Will Lose Its’ Veto In The EU Through Proxy Hungary”.
The pressure just continues to mount on Hungary, through the “stance” our Prime Minister – Victor Orban, his “relationship” with all other members of the European Union possible at it’s all time lowest point.
I just continue to be of the opinion that Prime Minister – Victor Orban, his behaviour attitude to matters, that are vital for our country’s survival and future, the attitude Orban is taking, reacting like the like the doll of a ventriloquist, that he is doll, adapting taking positions on matters, that are coming from “other” bodies and sources.
This “Stance” attitude and position, that Orban continues to practice, is “throwing” again into the face of the European Union, letting it clearly be demonstrated his dislike of the functionality of the European Union, and his “on record” opinion of the massive needs of change in the structure – in all areas of the European Union – going forward.
Hungary, we are being continuously damaged and humiliated by this leadership style exposed displayed by Orban to the European Union.
Hungary, as a country of the 27 members of the European Union, we sit 26 in over-all rating or our call it operation of a country, that Romania, rated 25 – it’s daylight hours between them and us, the way in which they continue to out perform us as a country.
Orban – 14 years plus in power, his “second” coming as Prime Minister, and we as a country battling to survive, seeing the eradication of Democracy, the European Union Membership “collapse” the abandonment of all other Major country’s that are Democracy’s but GROW in our relationships with DICTATORSHIPS – what next for Hungary ?
Orban – the major projects of NEEDS – the needs of the current and into the future of us the citizens of Hungary – many of these needs – schools, hospitals, health services to name just a few, that is a long list of NEEDS, the needs of citizens NOW in Hungary, that have been over-looked not addressed nor attended to through the WRONGFUL practice of, the incorrect application of PRIORITIZATION by the Orban Government, that we as a country find our-selves financially NOW – unable to FIX the needs of citizens in Hungary, because we are Financially decimated/destroyed.
The rectification – to righten this place we are in as a country, the nadir, of where it’s ALL going to end, is NOT going to come about by us Hungary under an Orban “model.”
Orban and his Government, the Fidesz Party, the Oligarch’s – we have LET them take us, drag us down the “Mire” likened road, and THEY will not SAVE us.
The innocence in there millions of Hungarians, not for getting there right to vote, that has over 14 plus years supported Orban/Fidesz, as the cataclysmic mess of Hungary worsens, they will be the “smashed” victims first and foremost of the Orban failed political agenda for Hungary.
In millions, we are, will continue to see innocence of Hungarians for a multitude of reason(s) – there lives in destruction, or already destructed, through the Orban practices of his Political failed ideology.
“Change is the Law of Life.
And those who look only at the past or present – are certain to miss the Future.”

Godspeed orby!
