@piratzbrna @StefanAlvemo That’s why I’m saying we need to be careful. Just because this case seems to be quite clear, it doesn’t mean other cases where a minority is blocking some decision will be as clear as this one.

Bypassing Hungary to fund Ukraine proves one thing: the veto is a security threat.@Veza85UE @StefanAlvemo @piratzbrna When we vote for a governments in our countries, they should be empowered to do the things they promised to do. Not be overruled by people from other countries voting for different governments. That's why there are areas in which countries can veto legislation and/or decisions.
Some countries don't want mass immigration from African countries, some countries don't want chat control, some don't prefer a more socialist state, some prefer a more free state and self-responsibility for their citizens. The citizens should decide, and the government voted in should have the powers to fulfill those wishes.

Even in this case, a country is entitled to disagree. If anyone going against a majority automatically equals they are a trojan horse, it’s becoming a slippery slope. Democracy can’t become a tyranny of the majority.
