#Hungary blocks #EU sanctions AND $106 billion loan for #Ukraine, risking a domino collapse 🖊️ Peeter Helme Budapest broke its December pledge. Now, an $8.2 billion IMF program could be lost with the loan, and Ukraine’s budget runs dry by April.Eugene McParland 🇺🇦 (mastodon.ie)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •while I understand & side with your position, throwing out a country is not possible b/c the EU contracts have no clause to throw out a country.
However: sanctions, penalties, freezing assets, suspending voting rights and excluding their voice are possible & imo much worse than complete exclusion/evacuation. Obstacle: such resolutions have to me unanimous.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Apart from that, which is something I wonder about myself....
But the main question is,how can Europe be democratic if the vote of a single country blocks everything? Shouldn't the absolute majority prevail over the vote of a single country?
How ever can that be democracy?

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •There is no mechanism for expulsion.
Even the suspension of membership rights according to article 7 #TEU has a huge road block in the middle of the process: the European Council, essentially the heads of state (or governments), must unanimously agree on proceeding to the last step, suspension.
In other words: it takes only a single other foul apple to prevent the suspension of rights, and #Slovakia is the other country on that tandem of foul apples.

Put about right,
Showing solidarity with Ukraine by showing the flag colors does not change anything as long as Putin and trump friend Orban can get away with blocking a majority decision.
Somebody please give him a cup of tea, putin style.
AND, get back the 10 Million the commision transferred unlawfully, give that to UKR instead.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •yeah no... at this point qualified majority voting should take over for the EU, and if certain members *cough* hungary *cough* don't like it they should take their toys and go play somewhere else
it just makes the EU look like an ineffectual joke and adds fuel to the fires of those who wish to burn it down
