Hungarian President Sulyok signs ratification of Sweden’s NATO accession

Hungary’s new president Tamás Sulyok signed parliament’s ratification of Sweden’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) on Tuesday, according to the Sándor Palace’s website.

The signing of the ratification is Sulyok’s first act as head of state, the website said. As we wrote last week: Hungary’s seventh president elected

As we have already written, Hungary’s government and the majority of the government (Fidesz-KDNP) have long delayed the vote on Sweden’s accession to NATO. There was no justification, some MEPs indicated that they were offended by Swedish politicians, but they had no demands.

Finally, the Swedish prime minister visited Hungary, where a favourable military agreement was discussed with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The Hungarian parliament then approved the membership application, but it remains unclear why a country with such a strong military force was blocked from joining the alliance, which will only strengthen NATO.
