MEPs will consider a resolution to deprive Hungary of its voting rights in the EU Council on January 18, Euractiv reports.
The draft resolution calls on the EU Council to initiate the procedure of depriving Hungary of its voting rights, as well as to investigate the legality of the European Commission's decision to unfreeze €10 billion for Hungary in December 2023.
"We are sending a strong message to the European Commission: if they simply distribute billions of euros to avoid Hungary's veto, they will not get away with it," said Daniel Freund, a Green MEP who is one of the leading negotiators on the resolution, in a commentary to the publication.
As we reported earlier, Slovakia will not allow Hungary's rights in the European Union to be restricted.
