The foreign minister of the European Union approved the sanctions after the new Hungarian administration broke with the previous Budapest stance of vetoing anti-Israel measures.
“We are launching a review of Hungary’s constitutional system; we will strengthen the system of checks and balances, and we will propose a limit on the number of terms a prime minister can serve,” the prime minister announced in his first remarks in his new role.
The new Hungarian prime minister is racing against both the clock and opposition from his own voters to meet conditions tied to rule of law reforms, Ukraine, and migration policy.
