"EU's Response to Hungary's Defiance on Migrants and LGBTi Rights"

The European Commission's decision to unblock funds for Hungary in exchange for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán refraining from obstructing Ukraine's accession talks has sparked criticism, with concerns that Orbán's blackmail is escalating. While the criticism is understandable, launching a lawsuit against the Commission and stripping Hungary of its voting rights in the European Council may not be practical solutions. The EU's ability to adapt to the presence of governments like Hungary's in its political landscape will be crucial for its continued relevance, and finding ways to work around challenges posed by Hungary may be more effective than legalistic approaches.
