[Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Opposes EU Decision to Freeze Russian Assets] ⑴ Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on social media on the 12th that the EU would vote that day on freezing Russian assets, a move that would cause irreparable damage to the EU, and Hungary opposes it. ⑵ Orbán pointed out that the decision on freezing Russian assets should be made by a vote of EU member states every six months, reaching a consensus. Brussels, through the procedure on the 12th, canceled the requirement for unanimous agreement, which is clearly illegal. ⑶ He emphasized that the European Commission, which is supposed to oversee compliance with EU treaties, is systematically violating European law.
