Following the proposal of the Turkish Parliament approved Sweden to join the NATO Protocol, the legislative agencies of NATO member states did not approve the only Hungary in Sweden.Hungarian Prime Minister Olban recently stated that it will continue to urge the Hungarian Parliament to vote to support Sweden to join NATO and complete the approval of the Swedish "contract" procedure as soon as possible.
It is reported that Olban wrote on the social media platform X: "I just finished the phone with the NATO Secretary -General Stoltenberg. I reiterated that the Hungarian government supports Sweden to join NATO. I also emphasized that we will emphasize that we will emphasize thatContinue to urge the Hungarian Parliament to vote to vote to support Sweden to join (NATO) and complete the approval procedure as soon as possible.
I have never agreed with Hungary, which Sweden joined NATO, why is it "loosely" this time?
Tian Dewen, an expert in European Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the Hong Kong News Agency that Hungary was mainly looking at Turkey.Because Hungary also wants to use this opportunity to "knock bamboo" in Sweden, it can take advantage of it anyway.Now that Türkiye has been released, there is no need to offend Sweden and the United States in Hungary.Hungary must have a certain deal with Sweden, but this transaction may not be put on the table.
Tian Dewen said that in fact, after the start of the Russian and Ukraine war, the basic position is the same as that of the United States. For example, condemning Russia "invaded" Ukraine, and the differences between Hungary and Europe and the United States were not as serious as media reports.But Hungary does have its own special interests, such as the energy of energy, it turned out to be more dependent on Russia's oil and gas; and Hungary is a small country and a poor country.Ken's enough compensation for Hungary made Hungary feel that he was very disadvantaged, so it had opinion.In addition, Austria and Slovakia also have similar ideas, but they refuse to make Hungary ahead.
It has been reported that it has different requirements for Turkey to propose a series of specific conditions on the approval of Sweden's "enrollment". Hungary has not expressed similar demands, but only implies that Hungary wants to gain a "greater respect" in Sweden.
Nordic Director of the American Think Tank's Atlantic Council, Anna Weishnde, said on the 24th that Hungary's dissatisfaction with Sweden's "enrollment" was blurred and did not put things on the stage.She believes that the contract for Sweden to extend or expand the contract involving the Hungarian Air Force leased the Swedish "Eagle Lion" fighter jet may be the Hungarian negotiation chips.
In addition, the Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Bilstron reminded Hungary to fulfill his commitment on the 25th.On the same day, the Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament, Kwell Laslo, said that the approval was "not in a hurry."
Different from Olban's statement, Kwell told the "Index" News Network: "I don't think it is particularly urgent (Sweden 'entering the contract"). In addition, I don't think there are any special circumstances. "
Hungarian Congress is currently in a state of rest and is scheduled to resume in late February.In July 2022, the Hungarian government submitted a motion to Sweden to join the NATO Protocol to Congress, but the relevant votes have not been included in the Congress.Opposition of the Party Hungary Socialist Party proposed this week to hold a special meeting to vote on Sweden.
