Finally. I hope this will be more than just a intent or “threat”

Only 19 of the 26 countries are on board. It’ll need more work to get a unanimous vote. But with Romania being pro-Russia and having Hungary’s back, that’s not happening. The most likely thing to happen is making the membership of Hungary in the EU useless or a net negative to them. For example if all EU funds were blocked, Hungary would have a huge problem.

Hungary would not have a problem. Orban would. Hungary is seeing none of those EU bribes.

EVERYTHING in hungary is built of the leftovers of the EU money

Those little breadcrums that Orbán and his entourage don’t steal are everything

I’m pretty sure missing billions of euros to invest businesses and Hungarian infrastructure would be a problem for Hungary.
