Do you agree that Hungary should be excluded from the EU and NATO for its policies?

Arguments for and against Hungary's exclusion from the EU and NATO

The argument for excluding Hungary from the EU and NATO is based on the country's policies, which violate the values of both organizations. Hungary has been accused of deliberately and systematically undermining European values, including democracy and human rights. The European Parliament has voted to sanction Hungary for flouting EU rules on democracy, civil rights, and corruption. Imposing a suspension of rights requires a unanimous vote of all member states, apart from the member state facing suspension, which has been a hurdle for those advocating for Hungary's exclusion.

However, some experts argue that Hungary's interests may not be aligned with those of the EU and NATO, making it unreliable as a promoter of their values. Therefore, excluding Hungary from these organizations could be seen as a necessary step to uphold their fundamental principles.
Hungary's policies have been criticized for undermining democracy and human rights. The country's populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban characterizes Hungary as an "illiberal democracy," which has left behind European values. Some European lawmakers have urged the EU to consider stripping Hungary of its voting rights to punish it for weakening democracy. Hungary's democratic backsliding and increasingly nationalist rhetoric threaten the stability of the alliance, which NATO needs to respond to. Thus, excluding Hungary from these organizations could be seen as a way to hold the country accountable for its actions and to protect the values and stability of the EU and NATO.
