Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban approved the applications of Finland and Sweden to join the North Atlantic Alliance, asking the Fidesz party in the ruling parliament to support this view. It has been reported Anatolia.
The leader of the Fidesz group, Mate Kocis, said party lawmakers were divided on the issue. In this context, according to him, the party asked the head of the National Assembly to send a delegation to the two countries to resolve the political conflict.
“Prime minister [Орбан] “Sweden and Finland have been asked to support NATO membership, but the party group is very divided on the issue,” he said.
He said serious debates arose after many lawmakers objected to Sweden and Finland joining NATO.
Orban also believes that some lawmakers are not particularly enthusiastic about candidates for NATO accession.
A general discussion on membership applications will take place next week.
The only members of the alliance that did not approve the applications of the two countries were Turkey and Hungary.
