EU Boycotts Hungary's Presidency Over Orbán's Global Diplomacy
TL;DR Summary
The European Commission is partially boycotting Hungary's six-month presidency of the European Council due to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's controversial "peace mission" involving visits to Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing, and Washington. The Commission will only send senior civil servants to informal meetings, not any of its 27 Commissioners. This move follows similar actions by several EU member states in protest of Orban's talks with Putin. Hungary criticized the decision, arguing that the EU should not selectively cooperate with member states.
