Hungary will accept Sweden’s NATO bid next week?
Change language:
That is the only way PM Orbán and his Fidesz-KDNP coalition could accept Katalin Novák’s resignation, nominate another presidential candidate, and end the scandal that broke the career of the two leading female politicians of Orbán’s party. In such a session, the parliament could accept even Sweden’s NATO bid.
President Katalin Novák resigned yesterday, but the parliament has to accept her decision to leave the office. However, the national assembly’s regular session will only start in end-February. Thus, it may happen that Fidesz will convene an extraordinary session to end the scandal. We wrote about Novák’s presidential pardon and the public outcry it caused in THIS article.
Telex.hu asked Fidesz’s parliamentary group whether they plan to do so but received no answers.
An extraordinary session could end both scandals?
Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, said yesterday that the Hungarian parliament could vote for Sweden’s NATO accession in end-February. He complained that the Swedish prime minister did not visit Hungary like he visited Türkiye before. Hvg.hu believes that is because the Turkish president had clear demands while PM Orbán has nothing like that.
Hungarian politicians keep repeating that some of their MPs were offended by the statements of Swedish politicians claiming there was a dictatorship in Hungary.
If the government wants to close both issues quickly, they may convene a session for next week. But Fidesz’s parliamentary group leader, Máté Kocsis, did not mention such a scenario in his interview yesterday, concerning the resignation of the president.
Orban ultimately as leader must take responsibility for the pardoning of paedophile protectors and terrorists. Novak was just a figure head who did what she was asked to do by Orban and his colleagues. Orban must resign! There is no honour in Hungary.
Concur – Larry.
In a “Real World” prior to this HUMILIATION again, in the name of Orban, what he has been found to have been responsible, that has not been Law Abiding – of compliance, that has Shamed & Embarrassed the name Hungary – he should have been REMOVED.
Hungary – remains in “another world” that through the dictatorial nature / style Orban / Fidesz control, run, manipulate it, the resignation of Orban would never occur.
