Orban distances himself from summit agreement on Ukraine
The decision to open accession talks must be taken unanimously by all 27 EU members. Hungary was the only country to speak out against this at the beginning of the summit. According to information from EU circles, this was ultimately circumvented with a "pragmatic solution": Orban left the meeting room for the decision, this had been agreed with him.
"26 other countries insisted that this decision be taken," said the Hungarian. " Hungary has therefore decided that if 26 other countries do this, they should go their own way."
Orban did not agree with the decision, said Ireland's head of government Leo Varadkar. However, he had decided not to use his right of veto. "We have now reached this agreement and Hungary has decided not to block it."
