The whole EU sanctions machine stalled because Orban wants Patriarch Kirill off the sanctions list.
This is the main problem with unanimity— it makes the EU look like a joke.

RT @RikardJozwiak: and one of the reasons are that Hungary still wants to remove Patriarch Kirill from the sanctions list...#Russia #Ukraine
RT @SophieintVeld: Accurate analysis, but I disagree with the conclusion. An aspiring global power cannot afford a faltering intergovernmental governance system designed for the 1950ies, based on horsetrading, giving huge power to autocrats but very little to citizens. Reform is urgent.
Orban navigated Hungary into a desperate dependency on Russian energy.
He then declares “victory” over the EU, whose solidarity & protection is our only chance
and brags about how HU families can sleep peacefully while a genocidal war is ripping families apart
What a disgrace.

Our party @momentumhu has just elected our new board. Grateful & proud to be part of this team!
We continue our fight to bring Hungary back to the community of nations committed to democracy, the rule of law & European values. We’ll never give up on our country.
As deputy mayor, he was the one who displayed messages in support for Tibetians & Uyghurs— making sure the Chinese defense minister saw it on his way to a jovial exchange with the Orban gov’t (who surely did not bring up these topics) 👏
RT @katka_cseh: Proud of my @momentumhu colleague Ferenc Gelecsér, deputy mayor of Budapest District I. Their local gov building now displays Tibetan flags & the message: justice for those suffering …
Congratulations to my long-time @momentumhu colleague, Ferenc Gelencsér — Member of Parliament & VP of our Parliamentary group — upon his election as our new party chair!
He will lead our community with courage & conviction.
Great to talk to @FRANCE24 & their prime European affairs show “Europe Now” in sunny Budapest!
I’m always grateful for the chance to talk about my work as an EU legislator— and to show Europe that there’s more to Hungary than Viktor Orban

RT @spignal: I've been to bachelor parties with more women than the Hungarian government
(^ @katka_cseh)
The new Orban government has
… more men named Janos than women
… more men with moustaches than women
… more men in crimson ties than women
RT @RenewEurope: Putin & the criminal oligarchs in his regime must help pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine!
We've campaigned for ambitious proposals that allow the EU to legally confiscate sanctioned assets.
We welcome @EU_Commission's initiatives to reinforce the EU's capacity to act!👇
Excellent news! The EU has the power to force the entire world economy on a greener path— and we should use it!👇
RT @lugaricano: Today the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is one step closer to becoming a reality, with the approval of @EP_Environment.
Most of what we have worked on from Renew is in the approved text. My thread on #CBAM of a couple of months ago👇
RT @UNAIDS: @ILGAEurope @victor_madrigal @InsightOlena @MMKavanagh @MarcAngel_lu @EU_Commission @GlobalFund "We need to put our money where our mouth is but we also need to have a bigger and louder mouth... When we talk about the war in Ukraine, we have to also talk about the challenges LGBTI people are facing," says @katka_cseh.
RT @IoanDragosT: War has no place in the 21st century and war crimes will not go unpunished. Sooner or later, justice will be served to all those who commit wartime atrocities.
Tonight, we finished negotiating one of the most important files I have worked on in my MEP mandate— on the fight against impunity for war crimes in Ukraine.
We need avenues of legal accountability for the horrific crimes perpetrated by Russia. Justice must be served.
RT @SophieintVeld: In case anyone still believed #EUCO @eucopresident and @EU_Commission @vonderleyen are serious and sincere about the Rule of Law and values. How will it work to first congratulate and then slam sanctions on a kleptocrat?
RT @ALDEParty: 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ TOMORROW – join us live on #IDAHOBIT2022 with @katka_cseh to discuss how liberals are defending LGBTQIA+ rights in Hungary! Follow us on #Instagram to join in LIVE ➡️ https://t.co/M5kpO1Zpon
RT @eublogo: I wonder whether #Hungary FM’s remark has anything to do with the fact that these 2 countries are among the most ardent advocates of enforcing the #RuleOfLaw in the #EU 🤷♀️
RT @alemannoEU: Nominating an international human rights lawyer - David Pressman - as ambassador to #Hungary is quite a statement by US President Biden
