Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, has expressed doubt concerning the necessity of Hungary’s membership in the EU and NATO following the claims by Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, against Poland.

Details: Bartoszewski stressed that, unlike Orbán, Poland had not been doing business with Russia since the beginning of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine “because it was an attack both on Poland, on the US, on the EU and NATO”.
He stated that Orbán’s speech had been commented on by the US Embassy in Budapest very negatively.
Quote: “I don’t really understand why Hungary wants to remain a member in the organisations it doesn’t like that much and which allegedly treats it that poorly. Why does he [Orbán – ed.] not just create an alliance with Putin and some authoritarian states of that type?
There is a principle that if you don’t want to be a member of some club, you can always leave. This is certainly an anti-European, anti-Ukrainian, anti-Polish policy of [Hungary – ed.].”
More details: Bartoszewski noted that Hungary was also blocking €467 million from the European Peace Facility (EPF), allocated by the EU for Poland to compensate for the military equipment provided for Ukraine by Poland.
Background:
- Earlier while giving a planned speech within the Tusványos Summer University in the Romanian resort town of Băile Tuşnad, Orbán claimed that the Poles “have the most hypocritical and sanctimonious policy in the whole Europe” as they allegedly “shamelessly keep doing business” with Russia.
- The relations between Warsaw and Budapest have grown colder after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 due to different views concerning this invasion. However, Orbán has not openly criticised Poland before.

Sure, that fat fascist zit should take his insignificant little country and leave NATO and the EU. But, he won’t because the fat fascist zit knows in what deep shit he and his insignificant little country would be in if there is no EU for its handouts and NATO for its safety.
Better yet, NATO and the EU should toss them out. It would be high time.
Hungary should not leave the EU or NATO, they should unceremoniously be shown the door. We know NATO and the EU will start whining about unity, but how can you have unity if one country is totally against these two organisations? It makes no sense to me.
It makes no sense to me either.
They are refusing the reality that you can’t always have 100% unity. That has never worked, is not working, and never will work. Human beings would have to be like Vulcans from Star Trek or something like that.
Offer?
Fucking kick them out.
There should be no room for fascist scum/putler rimmers in democratic entities.
It’s just another big, huge, gigantic failure that the EU and NATO are making. At least taking away their veto right would be enough to stuff a sock into the fat toad’s big trap.
The NATO and EU should rescind the rights, benefits, and privleges of membership of any member state that fails to uphold the standards, spirit and ethics of the organization, and only be reinstated after a change in government in that member state, and after a suitable probationary period of not less than four years. IMHO
Of course, something like that would be the right thing to have, like in any normal organization.
