BREAKING: Hungary’s Parliament ratifies Finland’s NATO bid – UPDATE

Hungarian lawmakers on Monday voted to ratify Finland’s NATO accession.

Parliament approved Finland’s bid with 182 votes in favour and 6 against.

Finland applied to join the military alliance in the wake of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The right-wing ,used to be anti-communist party Our Homeland (Mi Hazánk), which often defends Russia’s interests, voted against in parliament, that it would be a provocation to expand the military alliance on Russia’s border, while the neutral zone is an international interest. But there is no neutral zone. Russia’s land border is nearly 20 000 kilometers long, and one-sixteenth of this (1,215 kilometers) is shared with NATO members.

If Finland’s NATO accession is finalised, the border between NATO and Russia will be even longer. Belarus has also joined Russia militarily, so the Belarusian border could be a collision zone in a possible major conflict.

As we wrote before, the Hungarian Parliament has still not voted on Sweden’s accession. Here is why Hungary blocks Sweden’s NATO accession, the government explained. Details HERE.

UPDATE

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin on Monday evening thanked Hungary for ratifying her country’s NATO bid.

“Thank you for the clear decision!” Marin said on Twitter.

She also spoke out in favour of Sweden’s swift accession to the alliance.

“The NATO memberships of Finland and Sweden strengthen the security of the entire alliance,”

she said. “It is in everyone’s interest that Sweden also become a NATO member before the Vilnius summit.”

    Great to hear. It was about time. Sorry that you couldn´t really extort anything from Finland. Maybe you have better luck with still squeezing something from Sweden, although Hungary´s reasons for stalling the ratification has nothing to do with NATO military preparedness, just revenge after being emotionally hurt by criticism about not following agreed EU regulations.
    At least “Our Homeland” have an actual military/conflict related reason to stall and prevent ratifications, although I don’t agree with them at all. But have to say that they are at least open and honest in their selfishness, and not crying about how they feel being insulted in totally unrelated issues.
