So keep them in EU but take away their veto rights 🤔 Didn’t knew there was an option like that.

Article 7 suspends their voting rights. Requires unanimity of all other EU members.

It's the closest EU charter allows to evicting a member state. It effectively suspends the state's membership.

Quite frankly the should have. Orban is a blatantly corrupt Putin lapdog who has been siphoning EU funds for years into his own pocket and that of his cronies.

Have we ever been that close to taking them? I'm assuming he was warned and informed that next time it will happen.

No, but until now, Poland and Hungary protected each other. Things might change now.

Slovakia and The Netherlands are the new wild cards. We’ll see how things shake out.
