Wasn't Hungary blocking Ukraine from joining EU?

Maybe I am mis-remembering.

@SpaceLifeForm

Yes, and the EU was very close to booting Hungary because of Orban's policies.

Change is in the air.

@PeterLG @SpaceLifeForm There is no procedure for booting countries from the EU,so no, they were not close to it.

@edgeofeurope

Sorry, you are correct. I exaggerated. The discussions underway were removing Hungary's voting rights due to their continued refusal to follow EU rules.

All of that is irrelevant now, thankfully.

Though the EU really does need to rethink its 100% voting requirement in order to pass anything. A reinforced majority would be much saner.

@SpaceLifeForm

@PeterLG @SpaceLifeForm absolutely agree with changing the voting requirement
