PM Viktor Orbán to veto the Brexit deal?

James Franey, a journalist of the Daily Mail, wrote on Twitter that PM Viktor Orbán might veto the Brexit deal if it is not suitable for the United Kingdom. The Brussels correspondent of the British daily highlighted that he managed to speak with the Hungarian PM – scroll down to read what Mr Orbán answered.

According to Index, there is a real chance that the European Union and the United Kingdom will not be able to sign an agreement regulating the trade ties between them. The European Union says that if they accepted the proposal of the British government, they would create their next-door trade competitor. Meanwhile, London states that they would only like to regain crucial parts of their sovereignty in, for example, fishing or in settling disputes.

That is why PM Viktor Orbán said to Mr Franey that

he would veto any agreement aiming to punish Britain for their decision to leave the European Union. 

“The eurocrats should only do a fair agreement with the British,” he added. 

444 also believes that there will be no agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom concerning the trade ties between them. Ursula von der Leyen, the chairwoman of the European Council, said that the situation is distressing, and

they could not agree in any of the main issues.

However, they will continue talks until Sunday.

British PM Boris Johnson said the same, highlighting that he is ready to continue the negotiations, and he would even visit the capitals of the leading member states to reach an agreement. The British government would reintroduce customs, 444 said.
