The speaker of the Hungarian parliament, Laszlo Köver, warns that the planned NATO accession of Finland and Sweden could increase the risk of military conflict.
Köver therefore announced on Hir-TV on Friday evening that a parliamentary delegation of members of the right-wing governing party Fidesz will travel to Stockholm and Helsinki next Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Slander Campaign” against the Hungarian Parliament
In detail, Köver justified the trip before the ratification of Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO with previous attacks by these two countries on Hungary, which had to be clarified. He accused NATO and the EU of not taking any steps towards peace, but rather allowing the war in Ukraine to escalate further, the Hungarian news agency MTI reported on Saturday.
A “hate campaign” was waged against the Hungarian parliament because the ratification of NATO accession was delayed. In addition, the two Scandinavian countries cannot join the defense alliance until Turkey agrees to ratify it. This is unlikely to happen before the elections in Turkey.
As a result of the arms deliveries to Ukraine, NATO and EU countries became part of the war. This danger is immeasurable, one sees a “ghostly resemblance” to the time before the First and Second World Wars.
Hungary and Turkey have not yet ratified NATO membership
Köver also emphasized in relation to the EU rule of law procedure against Hungary that the tone, wording and priorities here strongly reminded him of the last years of the Soviet occupation. Only here the “Jourova Doctrine” took the place of the Brezhnev Doctrine, the parliament speaker criticized. The Czech Vera Jourova is Vice President of the European Commission.
Finland and Sweden had applied for membership in the Western Defense Alliance last May under the impression of Russia’s offensive war in Ukraine. All 30 NATO countries must ratify accession. Together with Turkey, Hungary is the last NATO country that has not yet ratified the accession of the two states.
