Hungarian Parliament

Eventually paving the way for Stockholm's membership in the Atlantic Alliance, the Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly approved Sweden's entry into NATO.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson hailed it as "a historic day" after Hungary's ratification of Sweden's NATO membership, paving the way for its entry into the Atlantic Alliance.

"Today is a historic day," he wrote in X.

"Sweden is ready to assume its responsibilities in terms of Euro-Atlantic security, almost two years after the beginning of the membership process", he added.

"Today we will support Sweden's membership in NATO", emphasized the Hungarian Prime Minister, Victor Orban before the beginning of the plenary session.

At the same time, Orban emphasized that he sees "no military solution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but only a negotiated end to the war."

Hungary is the last country to resist NATO after Sweden's admission to the alliance was approved by all other members. Unanimous approval of the group, which currently includes 31 countries, is required for a new member to join.

Orban emphasized that "it is important to resolve bilateral disputes before ratifying Sweden's membership in NATO".

"External efforts to intervene in these disputes have not been helpful. Hungary is a sovereign state and does not tolerate external interference", he declared.

Orban emphasized that the military cooperation agreements were concluded "with mutual benefit".

The reference concerns the agreements signed on Friday during Kristersson's visit for the purchase and maintenance of Swedish Jas 39 Gripen fighter jets.

Sweden and Finland applied to join the alliance weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

But unlike Finland, Sweden's bid was delayed after Ankara and Budapest imposed conditions.

Turkey has accused Sweden of going soft on supporters of Kurdish militants and other groups in Sweden that Ankara considers security threats, prompting Stockholm to strengthen its anti-terrorism laws, making support for extremist organizations punishable. with up to eight years in prison.

NATO also agreed to create a special counter-terrorism coordinator and appointed Assistant Secretary General Tom Goffus to the position.

Budapest, meanwhile, took aim at what it described as "blatant lies" by Swedish politicians about the state of Hungary's democracy.
