You won’t believe this! The People’s Party would even strip Hungary of its voting rights over Ukraine! 😮
If you thought that Péter Magyar’s party and Brussels couldn’t go any further in their pro-Ukraine stance, here comes the next chapter.
What’s happening in Brussels is truly astonishing. Ukraine shut down the Druzhba pipeline, which is a critical energy security issue for two full EU member states: Hungary and Slovakia. Brussels did nothing. When, in response, we halted diesel exports to Ukraine, they immediately called a crisis meeting.
Not because a third country was jeopardizing the energy supply of two member states, but because we stopped exporting diesel to a non-EU country as long as they continue blocking the pipeline.
And now they are preparing to cross another line. They want to strip Hungary of its voting rights because we refuse to approve the disbursement of the Ukrainian war loan until the pipeline is restarted — even though there is no physical obstacle to doing so.
Where does it end — this idea that Brussels would take away the voting rights of an EU member state simply because we don’t dance to the tune Ukraine whistles?
And all of this is being initiated by Péter Magyar’s party ally. The European People’s Party is crossing every boundary — and Péter Magyar silently assists, because he cannot say no to them.

Tomáš Zdechovský’s X post (translated):
“If Hungary wants to block sanctions against Russia, as their foreign minister proposed, then the answer is simple: suspend their voting rights in the EU and freeze EU funds.
Solidarity is not optional. You cannot take European money while undermining European unity.
This is how collaborators must be treated.”
