Hungary Using Democratic Procedures to Deter NATO Enlargement
Visegrad Insight Podcast - A podcast by Res Publica Foundation - Tuesdays
Hungary in headlines once again - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing for PM Viktor Orbán to visit Kyiv for the first time in years. The Parliament of Hungary will vote on the ratification of the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, with Orbán's political theatre lurking in the background. What potential danger does this spell for Hungary's Visegrad relationships? Editor-in-chief Wojciech Przybylski and Editorial Director Miles R. Maftean discuss the possible scenarios. In the second part of the podcast, we sit down with Dániel Bartha (Centre for Euro-Atlantic Integration and Democracy) for the latest reaction to the firing of hundreds of high-ranking Hungarian officers of the military and the current state of Hungarian defence.
