Hungary warns EU: Will exercise veto if secondary sanctions harm national interests

Hungarian Prime Minister's Office: Hungary is prepared to exercise veto power if secondary sanctions by the EU harm its interests

Sputnik Budapest, September 11 - The head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyás, said that if Hungary believes that the EU's secondary sanctions against India and China will severely harm its economy, Hungary is prepared to exercise a veto on the EU's adoption of the sanctions package.

Gulyás answered media questions about whether Hungary is prepared to exercise a veto on the EU's secondary sanctions against China and India at a government briefing on September 11.

He said, "In any case, before the Hungarian government exercises a veto, it will first assess whether the proposal is in the country's interest. If there is a conflict, it needs to assess what damage it would cause to Hungary's economy. If the damage is significant, we will exercise the veto."
