Hungarian PM Viktor Orban sparked anger last week by accusing the EU of pursuing a "pro-war policy".

The European Union has stripped Hungary of the right to host the next meeting of foreign and defence ministers over its stance on the war in Ukraine.

It comes weeks after Hungary assumed the presidency of the Council of the European Union, a role in which it would normally host the event, and amid anger over a meeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban held with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said Hungary’s actions should have consequences and that “we have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal”.

Hungary described the move as “completely childish”.

    Y’all Euros need to cut that turd loose or “take care” of its ruling party. If you don’t, it’s just gonna keep on being a liability.

      Agreed. As a Euro, they need to be taken care of. Permanently. Throw them out, shut off all talks with Turkey, too. We don’t want either of them.

          Ah yeah, I’m sure “people like you” would do a much better job. Oh wait, your kind is why things are in the shitter.

            Would do a much better job by throwing out the second biggest military (after the US) out of NATO. Or establish a precedent on throwing out countries you don’t like out of the EU, basically telling everyone “you can’t be a sovereign country because we can throw you out when we don’t like what you are doing”.

            Good job mr President
