Hungary to Be Stripped of Top EU Posts as Punishment for Opposing Ukraine Funding - Report
Sputnik News ^ | 5/30/24 | Svetlana Ekimenko

Hungary has long been a thorn in the side of the EU authorities in Brussels in everything linked with the Ukraine conflict. Staunchly refusing to fan the flames of the ongoing NATO proxy conflict with Russia, Budapest has been fending off mounting pressure from its increasingly frustrated fellow EU leaders.

Hungary is to be meted out a dose of “punishment” by fellow EU leaders for its staunch opposition to arming Ukraine, Politico reported.

A plan is afoot to slap Budapest’s representatives with a “weak portfolio” in the next European Commission, according to diplomats cited by the outlet.

Hungary’s Oliver Varhelyi has held the post of European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement since 2019. However, after the elections slated for June 6-9, Hungary should not expect to land any senior posts in the European Commission, stated the report.

There is hardly "even a question" of the country being allowed to retain control of any high positions, one insider was cited as saying.

“After the disaster this time round with Várhelyi and the way Orbán is taking on [Commission President Ursula] von der Leyen, there is no way she will hand over anything important [to] someone close to him,” said an envoy.

Hungary has resisted pressure from all sides to march in lockstep with other EU and NATO patrons of the Kiev regime. It has stuck to its guns on opposing everything from disbursing cash to further pump Ukraine with Western weapons to its NATO accession bid.

As part of its vehement opposition to the ongoing NATO proxy war in Ukraine, Hungary has been holding up a multi-million euro military aid package for Kiev that was agreed in March. Budapest insisted on the need to “make peace,” and “to prevent the escalation” of the conflict. On Monday, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto acknowledged after........

Hungary is a vassal state of Russia because of its dependence on Russian energy supplies.

It’s not a democracy if entities that vote the wrong way are punished.

There’s no pest like a Budapest.

There was a Hungarian Revolution in 1848, when Hungary didn’t want to be swallowed up into a European empire. There was a second Hungarian Revolution in 1956, when Hungary didn’t want to be swallowed up into a Soviet empire. We are witnessing a third Hungarian Revolution, with Hungary not wanting to be swallowed up into an EU Islamomanic empire. Some day the Europeans will thank Hungary, just as they did when the first revolution sparked nationalism, and the second revolution signaled the inevitable collapse of Soviet Leninism.

Ukraine is a client state of the US because it’s dependence on US money.

Nice of them to admit that EU membership is not meaningful, but that “members” are merely expected to accept top down edicts from whoever actual runs things.

Maybe they enjoy cheap gas and dislike the Ukraine Reich. The customer is not there slave of the vendor. No one ever calls people who enjoy cheap food the vassals of McDonald’s.

Hungary is a glimmer of hope in an otherwise leftist and evil union.

You haven’t eaten at McDonald’s lately. No one would any longer keep it cheap.

I like Viktor Orban, but his posturing about the Ukraine war is classic Stockholm syndrome stuff. He can’t afford to buck Russia or Hungary would starve in the dark. So he has convinced himself it is a matter of high principle.
