Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson is demanding that Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (Moderate Party) work to strip Hungary of its EU presidency.
The reason is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s “peace trips” to Moscow and Beijing.
“While Ukrainians lie in trenches defending their country’s freedom, Prime Minister Orbán uses the Hungarian EU presidency to legitimize Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine by visiting places like Moscow. This is very serious and unacceptable,” Andersson stated in a written comment to TT.
“I expect Ulf Kristersson to do what he can to ensure the EU considers the possibility of terminating Hungary’s presidency.”
