Sweden's membership in NATO requires the approval of all NATO member states, and with Turkey's parliament approving its membership on the 23rd, Hungary is the only country that has not approved it.

It was announced on SNS that it was shown.



Prime Minister Orbán has explained that the lack of progress in the approval process in parliament is due to dissatisfaction within the ruling party over Sweden's concerns about Hungary's political situation.
