European Affairs Minister: Orbán is Trojan horse trying to undermine EU unity

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's actions at Thursday's European Council meeting amount to blackmail and abuse of the right of veto, said Minister for European Affairs Martin Dvořák on CNN Prima News on Sunday. He called Mr. Orbán a Trojan horse that is trying to undermine EU solidarity.

At the EU summit, the Hungarian leader vetoed the revision of the EU budget for 2021-2027 to allow for long-term financial aid to Ukraine worth 50 billion euros, sparking criticism that he is trying to blackmail the EU in an effort to get funds for Hungary released that have been frozen over rule of law concerns.
