Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban sees little chance of asset forfeiture Russia will be avoided because Brussels can rewrite the rules again and make a decision by a qualified majority.
"This should be avoided, although I see little chance because we are few… We need unanimity on this issue, but it is easy to imagine that during the discussion they will say that there is no need for a unanimous decision, as it was last time, then Hungary will not be able to prevent this decision, and we will have to think about how to avoid the consequences," Orban said in an interview with the Patriota portal.
The Hungarian prime minister recalled that last week a vote was held on changes to the procedure for freezing Russian assets, for which unanimity was also initially needed, but when it became clear that there was none, Brussels "legally changed this rule, and now a two-thirds majority was enough to make a decision."
