Serious proposal: Belgium seeks to remove Hungary’s veto power in EU decision-making
Brussels is seeking “to repress pro-peace forces”, making a last-ditch effort to remove the final obstacle to the war “by silencing [Hungary] or excluding it from decision-making,” the foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, said on Monday.
Szijjártó was reacting to a recent remark by Hadja Lahbib, the foreign minister of current European Union president Belgium, who said in a recent interview to Politico that the Article 7 procedure against Hungary should be carried to completion with the possible outcome of Hungary being stripped of its voting rights.
“We have a Europe that is making difficult headway, with unfortunately some states — one state in particular — increasingly adopting a transactional, blocking and veto attitude,” Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib told POLITICO in an interview.
“I think we need to have the courage to make decisions: go right to the end of Article 7, activate Article 7 right to the end, which provides for the end of the right of veto,” she said.
Brussels “is enveloped in panic”, with only six days left before the EP elections, Szijjártó said. “Six days are left for people to pull the brake on the apparently unstoppable pro-war train from rushing to its final destination, a third world war,” he said, adding that “the brake can be pulled by European people on June 9”.
“On June 9, we’ll need very strong support and a big win so that we can withstand the pressure in the weeks and months to come and forcefully promote peace and act against Europe’s preparations for a third world war,” Szijjártó said.
“Brussels, the liberal mainstream, visibly dislikes it, but the [Hungarian] government won’t give in to pressure and will soon take over the European Union’s presidency … and do everything in the interest of peace,” he said.
“I am asking all of you to be there on June 9 and make it clear that it is unacceptable that they want to silence the last voice of peace in Europe,” Szijjártó said.
As we wrote a few days ago, Brussels ideology more dangerous than Putin, PM Orbán said.
As we wrote today, the Hungarian government has pushed back on EU measures to send aid to Ukraine on several occasions. While in March and May, the country’s delegation refrained from vetoing the enlargement of the European Peace Facility, the government is now actively blocking payments from reaching Ukraine, read our article here.

“the last voice of peace” a voice that is always looking for its own interests, with no empathy and the most horrible narcissist behavior in all EU. Besides being an ass licker of Putin
Great idea. This will have to happen sooner or later because Fidesz will not stop its’ obstructionism.
Most of Europe is brainwashed, Hungary is looking for its own interest, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
EU is self destroying Europe, by the time they realize and acknowledge will be far to late. Long live Hungary !
And so it begins… – or should I say, ends. The big, megalomaniacal bully wants total control and brooks no dissent, from anyone, for any reason. It’s the old C.C.C.P. in the remaking.
Keep pushing, E.U.
And find out.
What after 14 years in Government have they, the Orban – Fidesz Government delivered us Hungary to as a country ?
The European Union, will SILENCE the Victor Orban led Fidesz Government of Hungary, that will be by DEMOCRATIC processes.
It grows, the TENSION in Brussels, that we know has spilled over, spread out come to be a focal talking point subject, the on-going exercise conducted orchestrated by the Hungarian Prime Minister – Victor Orban, in his DISTILLATION of DEMOCRACY in Hungary.
Orban’s – years of “polluting” the word DEMOCRACY, moving Hungary, from what it is presently, that has been DELIVERED there by his Fidesz Government, a economy in CRISIS, returning the Governance of Hungary, to “align” with China & Russia, that will be a Dictatorship and under Communistic Law(s) – the PUNISHMENTS handed out to Hungary, will fit the CRIMES, that Victor Orban must be HELD totally accountable.
Tick the box on “transactional” – that would be our Politicians. Always looking out for Number One!
