Hungary Won’t Blackmail EU With Veto, New Foreign Minister Says

Hungary will no longer wield its veto on European Union policy as an instrument of blackmail and will work to win back the trust of EU and NATO partners, new Foreign Minister Anita Orban said.

“Too often Hungary has been a problem in Europe’s decision-making,” said Orban, who is unrelated to the previous prime minister Viktor Orban. “We used the veto not as a last resort but for political theater.”
