Magyar opposed the abolition of the right of veto within the European Union

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on June 3 that he did not support the idea of abandoning unanimity and switching to majority voting in the European Union.

"I am not in favor of currently introducing majority voting instead of the principle of unanimity in a number of areas. We will negotiate and find a compromise," he said in an interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ).

According to him, it is difficult to find a compromise with 27 states, but in most cases it succeeds. Magyar noted that his predecessor Viktor Orban always talked about the need to defeat Brussels. However, according to the current prime minister, it's not about winning, but about understanding and persuasion.
