Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, claims that 26 EU member states were considering depriving Hungary of its right to veto had it blocked the decision to start negotiations with Ukraine.
Hungary used to have a mutual defence pact with PiS-era Poland that scuppered any attempts by the EU to discipline either country. Not that PiS are no longer in power in Poland, hasn’t Fico’s Slovakia stepped into the role?
Fico and other similar politicians are still great friends with orban. Even the Slovak National Party, which is ironic because they were incredibly anti-hungrian bck in the day. But sharing dream of totalitarian country unites.
I bet Putin would lovento get us back into Russian sphere of influence as well and yet Fico and co. still lick his boots.
This is exactly why nationalism is such a huge problem in Europe. The key idea behind the various nationalist platforms is to never accept compromise when dealing with other nations (muh sovereignty!!). Can’t see how this will not result in war, unless voters change their mind.
Slovakia is a NATO state and if Orban tried invading Poland alone would probably have him in a wagon on the way to the Hague before America was even ready to fully deploy.

Nope, because Orban’s party denies the legitimacy of Slovakia as an independent state via their grievance culture over the Treaty of Trianon
