If Hungary truly believes in sovereignty and freedom of choice, then it should leave the EU instead of sabotaging it from within. No one is forcing it to stay - it willingly joined, willingly takes EU funds, and willingly benefits from the alliance's economic and security advantages.

But democracy isn't just about "freedom of choice" for one country at the expense of everyone else. It also means accountability. If Hungary keeps undermining collective security while cashing EU checks, then the rest of the bloc has every right to push back. That's not suppressing democracy - it's protecting it from internal sabotage.
