European gag for Hungary. Belgium wants to take away Hungary’s right to vote
Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib , rotating president of the European Union, is pushing other member states to deprive Hungary of the right to vote in the Council of the European Union which requires unanimity on sensitive issues, as expected from Article 7 of the Treaty of Lisbon.
The minister stated in an interview “we have a Europe that is making difficult progress, with unfortunately some states, one in particular, increasingly adopting a transactional, blocking and veto attitude”.
The presidency of Europe will fall to Hungary from next July 1st.
The response from Hungary, through a spokesperson for the Permanent Representation of Hungary to the EU stated: “Hungary's main concern now is to keep the EU out of the war in our neighbourhood. If the war reaches the EU, Article 7 will be the least of our problems."
