"The European Parliament supported a resolution condemning Hungarian Prime Minister Orban for “systematically undermining EU values” and for vetoing aid to Ukraine.
This is one of the attempts to deprive Hungary of the right to vote in decision-making in the European Union. However, the European Parliament resolution has no legal force.
According to Reuters, MEPs are calling for "a further step in the rule of law process, which could ultimately lead to the suspension of Hungary's voting rights in the EU."
The publication notes that we are talking about a punishment mechanism under Article 7, which is “lengthy and complex” and therefore “unlikely in the foreseeable future.”
“The resolution has no legal force, but increases political pressure on Orban ahead of the EU leaders’ summit in Brussels on February 1, which will again attempt to negotiate new aid for Ukraine,” writes Reuters.
Let us note that to make this decision, just like any other, the consent of all EU members, including Hungary, is required, which is unrealistic.
In addition, Slovak Prime Minister Fico has already promised not to allow the EU to deprive Hungary of its voting rights"
