    So keep them in EU but take away their veto rights 🤔 Didn’t knew there was an option like that.

      Article 7 suspends their voting rights. Requires unanimity of all other EU members.

      It’s the closest EU charter allows to evicting a member state. It effectively suspends the state’s membership.

      Quite frankly the should have. Orban is a blatantly corrupt Putin lapdog who has been siphoning EU funds for years into his own pocket and that of his cronies.
