The Parliament of Hungary will not ratify Sweden’s accession to NATO before the summer break, as this issue is not included in the agenda for the upcoming week, according to reports from Hungarian media.

Websites such as hvg.hu and index.hu reported that Parliament, where the majority belongs to Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, will further postpone the vote, resulting in a deterioration of relations with Sweden.

The Hungarian Parliament’s media office has not confirmed these reports but stated that the agenda for the upcoming session will be finalized on Thursday.

Left-wing opposition legislator Ágnes Vadai wrote on Facebook that Orbán will not put Sweden’s NATO membership to a vote in the next session.

The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment on this issue.

Sweden and Finland abandoned their longstanding policy of military non-alignment following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year. Both countries sought greater security and expressed their desire to join NATO. Finland became a member of the alliance in April, but the process for Sweden has been slower.

Sweden is seeking to join the alliance during the summit on July 11 and 12. While Stockholm has support from other member states, including the United States, Turkey, and Hungary, these countries have not yet ratified Sweden’s accession to NATO.

With the ratification process blocked in the Hungarian Parliament since last July, Orbán expressed concerns about Sweden’s and Finland’s membership in NATO for the first time in February.

He accused both countries of “spreading lies” about democracy and the rule of law in Hungary, even though Hungarian lawmakers ratified Finland’s membership at the end of March.
