Hungary’s ruling party Fidesz, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, submitted to parliament on Wednesday a resolution calling on lawmakers not to support the launch of accession negotiations with Ukraine.
That’s according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.
The start of negotiations on membership with Ukraine should be based on a consensus among the EU member states, the resolution reads, adding that there are no conditions for this as of today.
It also states that EU leaders should first thoroughly assess the impact of Ukraine’s possible membership in the bloc on cohesion and agricultural policies within the EU, of which poorer member states, including Hungary, are among the main beneficiaries.
As reported, Orban, in a letter to European Council President Charles Michel, urged him not to put a decision on macro-financial assistance to Ukraine and negotiations on its accession to the EU on the agenda of the upcoming EU summit.
An EU official later said Michel would cut short his trip to China as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán threatened to disrupt a summit of EU leaders at the end of the year.
On December 14, the European Council should consider the issue of starting negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU.

“EU leaders should first thoroughly assess the impact of Ukraine’s possible membership in the bloc on cohesion and agricultural policies within the EU”
The culprit for lack of cohesion in the EU is Hungary, not Ukraine.
Madness…In 1956 the Uprising was brutally crushed and a quarter of a million left the country, and had to suffer a brutal regime….why is this idiot sucking up to Putin????
“Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union allows for the possibility of suspending European Union (EU) membership rights (such as voting rights in the Council of the European Union) if a country seriously and persistently breaches the principles on which the EU is founded as defined in Article 2 of the Treaty on”.
An ORC oblast has gotten lost on the European map.
He has nothing to do in this space. Out!
The EU is made up of marshmallows and that’s why the fat Orb-anus does what he wants, when he wants.
