Hungary's Approval of Sweden's NATO Membership Awaits as Turkey Ratifies
BUDAPEST, Hungary - As Turkey recently completed its ratification of Sweden's bid to join NATO, Hungary remains the last member of the military alliance yet to give its approval. This delay has brought attention to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his conservative populist government. Despite prior assurances that Hungary would not be the last NATO member to ratify Sweden's request, Orbán's government is now in the spotlight as fellow allies question when Budapest will follow Ankara's lead.
