>The Hungarian Parliament has voted to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC). The government’s proposal was supported by 134 members of parliament.
>The government announced its intention to initiate the withdrawal from the ICC on April 3rd. The timing was no coincidence, as that very day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Budapest — against whom the ICC had issued an international arrest warrant. The Court aims to hold Netanyahu and his former defense minister, dismissed last November, accountable for alleged attacks, starvation, and killing of civilians.
>In November last year, Viktor Orbán firmly rejected the ICC’s decision and invited the Israeli prime minister for an official visit the very same day. The Hungarian Prime Minister also called the ICC’s move an “outrageously cheeky” and “cynical decision,” claiming it interfered in an ongoing conflict for political purposes.

It’s interesting to see how the right wing is once more on the wrong side of history.

Ban the veto for Hungary in EU

I don’t have sympathy for Orban but this is good. The ICC’s legitimacy is no more and no less than that of a high school classroom government. They had a sweet deal: be afforded a veneer of legitimacy, sentence a Serbian general or a Liberian warlord or two every once in a while. They just had to ruin it like how Walt ruined his sweet deal with Gus.
Benjamin Netanyahu will die as an old man in a warm bed in his house. The ICC and Europe in general should just internalize this fact.

When our parliament votes it is basically decided by a close cult controlled by fidesz elites.

Always interesting to see how the right and left, (or rather the Eurocratic centrists). The Western world and the Russian world, still unite over the Israeli cause

And guys, this won’t be the biggest scandal of the week. They are about to vote a bill that will enforce Orbén & Co to outright ban and dismantle any press, civilian organization, or institute they see fit. Bye-bye free elections in 2026, they likely won’t even let the Tisza Party to run.

Any country that leaves the ICC should be expelled from the EU.

If Hungary were assessed these days would they still meet the Copenhagen Criteria? Feels like if a country fails to meet them (after initially doing so) they should be booted.
