Here is when the Hungarian Parliament can vote on Finland and Sweden’s NATO accession

The Hungarian Parliament could vote on the last possible day on the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO. Earlier, foreign minister Péter Szijjártó said that they could not vote on it because of Brussels, because they did not have the time.

On 7 December, the Hungarian Parliament may vote on the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO, Szabad Európa reports. The paper says the statement was made at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Madrid.

The last possible day to decide

MSZP MEP Tamás Harangozó was surprised to hear the head of the Belgian delegation say in his speech that his Hungarian friends had informed him that they could vote on ratification on 7 December. The date has also been confirmed to the Hungarian politician by the government MPs.

The last sitting of the Parliament this year will be on 5-6-7 December. This means that they have pushed it to the last possible day to decide on the issue.

28 out of 30 NATO members already voted yes

Finland and Sweden are waiting for ratification of their NATO membership applications. By 16 October, 28 of the 30 NATO member states had already completed the formal procedure, supporting the admission of Finland and Sweden to the military alliance, hvg.hu writes.

However, two Member States have not yet ratified the agreement. One is Turkey, the other Hungary. Earlier, Péter Szijjártó said that the Parliament is discussing the draft legislation submitted at Brussels’ request at such a fast pace that it does not have time to deal with the question.

    So, according to Mr. Szijjártó, 28 (twenty-eight) countries already managed to vote on this, but we were “too busy”.

    The Slovaks were the last of the 28 to ratify – on September 27.

    Political EXTORTION.

    Sooner or later, extortionists get caught, face court and go to jail.

    In this case Hungary’s Viktor Orban MIGHT end up making Hungary a pariah state.

    People have long memories, and who knows what they’ll remember at Hungary’s next parliamentary elections.

    You can only shove so much garbage down a person’s throat, sooner or later they will disgorge it.
