Estonian government: PM Orbán part of Putin’s team, Hungary may lose its voting right – UPDATE: FM Szijjártó
Politicians of the Baltic countries and even Poland, our thousand-year-long friend, have been slamming the Hungarian government for its “pro-Putin” stance. Estonian FM Margus Tsahkna recently talked about Orbán, identified him as a Putin team member and added that Hungary might lose its voting rights in the EU Council.
The Estonian foreign minister suggested how important unanimous votes would be in an era of Russian aggression and how crucial it would be for Europe to arm itself against Moscow’s growing threat. In that regard, he suggested that there was a European unity broken only by Orbán’s Hungary. Even though Orbán talks about division in Europe concerning Ukraine, Russia and the arming of the continent, the Estonian foreign minister suggested there was no such thing, only Hungary’s pro-Russia position.
Orbán part of Putin’s team, says Estonia
“Let’s be honest: to be divided, you need two big parties. With Hungary, we have a very weak country that is part of Putin’s team, not part of our European team,” he highlighted.
Therefore, he said, Hungary might lose its voting rights in the EU Council. “Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union allows a member state to be deprived of its voting rights if its membership endangers the security of Europe and other members. This is exactly what [Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor] Orbán is doing,” Tsahkna said.
Hungary cannot access billions of RRF and development funds due to rule of law concerns, and 444.hu pointed out that the forming new German government coalition also discussed the issue of depriving member states that seriously violate the fundamental values of the EU.
Estonian FM among ‘most fanatical pro-war voices’, says FM Szijjártó
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna is “one of Europe’s most fanatical pro-war voices — pushing to prolong the war in Ukraine while lecturing others on the risks of escalation”, Péter Szijjártó, the Hungarian foreign minister, said on social media on Sunday. Szijjártó responded to Tsahkna’s call for the suspension of Hungary’s European Union voting rights.

Small countries with small population have the biggest and loudest mouth. Estonia’s 1million + country is one of those groups that crow because Estonia thinks NATO will protect it. Yet, when Estonia was attached to Russia, they were the biggest yes men. Estonians are simply cowards.
Hungary is not very diferent than Estonia, and look what the orange guy has achieved in 2 months.
Hungary also believes NATO will protect it from attack … And there is a reason why Sweden and Finland decided to ditch their neutrality for Membership.
Curiously, our Politicians are most eager to tout Hungary’s defense spending, although 2 percent is now definitely on the low side. And who would we need defending against? Not You-Know-Who, surely!
I’m confused about why you think Estonians are cowards.
Who was the first country to leave the Soviet Union as it was breaking apart?
Other countries that were not even in the Soviet Union but Warsaw Pact tried that in 1956 and 1968, and I think they were pretty courageous even if the Soviets still showed up.
You?
Hungary is small and Orban’s mouth is very big.
There is a difference between Hungary and Estonia… notably who currently has their nose in Putin’s ass. Oh Viktor don’t, please don’t lick, kissing is enough. Ask Maria.
Yes, yes, yes…
You must sound off that Russia is 100% wrong, Ukraine is 100% right, Ukraine be helped with a literal blank check (800 billion euros of OUR MONEY just earmarked for Ukraine!!!), infinite inflow of advanced military hardware, and even young European men being sent there to die. This must be done at any price, at any cost, even at the risk of provoking a third world war, even at the risk of ending up in a nuclear annihilation of the planet. And all that to prevent a few maize fields and hillocks in eastern Ukraine from falling to Russia. Ukraine’s borders are sacrosanct and must be defended (even if Europe’s have been practically erased and we have been invaded).
And if you don’t sound off thusly, then you are a Russia bot. You’re a Kremlin shill. You’re teabagging Putin.
These people are demented. They are literally insane.
This entire statement is a mashup of falsehoods, exaggerations, and emotional appeals designed to mislead and provoke outrage. The reality is:
Ukraine is being invaded, and the world has chosen to support its right to self-defense.
The aid given is significant, but not unlimited or reckless.
No one is being forced to fight, and efforts are made to avoid escalation.
Criticism and debate about aid levels or strategy are legitimate — but they should be grounded in facts, not fear-driven fantasies.
Germany is answering call to action. We will be the strongest military and economy in 5 years. Then any problem can be solved quickly.
