Quick Glance: Hungary: Final Barrier to Sweden's NATO Membership
  • Hungary is the last member of the military alliance that has not given its approval for Sweden's NATO membership, following Turkey's completion of its ratification.

  • After long delays and urging from Western partners to approve Sweden's application, Hungary and its conservative populist prime minister Viktor Orbán are once again in the spotlight.

  • Orbán has pledged that Hungary will not be the last NATO member to ratify Sweden's request, but Turkey's approval has undermined these assurances, prompting others in the alliance to question when Budapest will follow Ankara's lead.

  • Hungary's opposition, which supports Sweden's NATO membership, has made several attempts over the past year to schedule a vote on the matter.
