Orban: No rush with Sweden in NATO

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban sees no rush to ratify Swedish membership in NATO.

– I wonder if there is something urgent that forces us to ratify Sweden’s NATO application. I can’t see any such circumstances, he said before Hungarian parliamentarians when parliament opened on Monday.

The tone was different than before, when Viktor Orban said that the approval is a technicality.

He also accused Sweden and other Nordic countries of challenging Hungary’s fundamental democratic values.
