Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government has scrapped an upcoming parliamentary session, frustrating lawmakers keen to ratify Sweden and Finland’s applications to NATO.
“Government parties do not want a parliamentary session next week," opposition lawmaker Agnes Vadai wrote Tuesday on social media. “So the ratification of Finnish and Sweden's NATO accession will be cancelled again.”Orban’s government notified the lawmakers that a scheduled parliamentary session would be postponed in a letter that Vadai said she received on Tuesday.
Orban has carved out an unusual position in international affairs, branding himself as “a Christian politician” standing athwart trans-Atlantic liberalism, an icon of conservative nationalism with close links to Russia and China.
“We'll keep working with Hungarian authorities to overcome this situation,” EU Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Elisa Ferreira said in December. "It’s not right for them to ask us to take them on board while they’re spreading blatant lies about Hungary, about the rule of law in Hungary, about our democracy and about life here," Orban said."[How] can anyone want to be our ally in a military system while they’re shamelessly spreading lies about Hungary? So let’s stop for a friendly word and ask them how this can be.”
