MEP calls for depriving Hungary of voting rights in EU

Lithuanian MEP Rasa Juknevičienė said the European Commission (EC) and the EU Council should consider stripping Hungary of its voting rights in the European Union.

She believes that the Hungarian authorities support Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moskovsky Komsomolets reports.

Therefore, she called for measures to be taken to “stop Orban” and prevent possible destabilizing consequences for the European Union itself.

“Why are the EU Council and the European Commission not yet taking action on this issue? <...> We hope that effective measures will be taken. Otherwise, we may have to face serious questions regarding the future of the EU,” the deputy concluded.

She warned that the EU's disunity was becoming more visible.
