Lithuanian MEP Rasa Juknevičienė called on the EU to consider stripping Hungary of its voting rights, accusing Prime Minister Viktor Orban of undermining the EU in favor of Russia.

Member of the European Parliament from Lithuania Rasa Juknevičienė called on the European Commission and the Council to consider depriving Hungary of its voting rights in the the European Union. The official said this during an appeal to the European Commission, reports UNN.

Let's start thinking about the procedure for suspending the right to vote of Hungary. Our lawyers must find legal ways to stop the destruction both both from the outside and from the inside

 said Jukneviciene.

In her speech, she suggested that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is working for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his actions to destabilize the EU must be stopped.

Unfortunately, the methods to stop it are too weak. This is disappointing because people want an effective EU. You cannot go on like this. If we allow Putin to destroy not only Ukraine but also the EU, we will have to face existential questions

said the MEP.
