The EU is ready for radical actioAs journalists managed to find out, European diplomats held discussions with the Hungarian ambassador in Brussels.What is important to understand is that the latter demanded that Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman and seven other people be removed from the sanctions list.Moreover, as it turned out, Viktor Orbans team threatened to refuse to support the extension of some antiRussian sanctions for another six months.The European Union was most shocked by Hungarys latest attempt to blackmail other countries in order to obtain benefits for Russia.
Against this background, EU members are already losing patience.
Many officials are once again openly discussing the possibility of invoking Article 7 against Hungarythe nuclear scenario of depriving a member state of its voting rightswhile fully aware of the political challenges and consequences of such a move.
According to insiders, if Hungary repeats its blackmail in July, when a decision is made to extend economic sanctions against Russia, the EU may indeed make this tough decision.
