EU Council to hold hearings on suspending Hungary’s voting rights

consilium.europa.eu

The European Union Council will hold hearings on May 27 regarding the possible suspension of Hungary’s voting rights within the Union. The information was published on the Council’s official website.

According to the agenda, ministers will conduct the eighth hearing on Hungary under Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, initiated by the European Parliament.

Article 7 allows for the suspension of certain rights of a member state, including its voting rights in the EU Council, if it is found to be in breach of the Union’s core values.

Previously, the Financial Times reported that several EU officials had discussed the suspension of Hungary’s voting rights due to Budapest’s ability to obstruct major decisions—particularly those related to Russia.
