Austria is questioning punishment in Hungary

Hungary receives support from neighboring Austria.

FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache, who is the second man in the Austrian government as vice chancellor, is taking on Budapest. The Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs has asked Brussels to see if the European Parliament's decision is lawful, said Strache on Sunday against Austrian media.

A two-thirds majority was needed in the vote in the European Parliament. If we only look at votes against and against it, we succeeded. But according to Austria and Hungary, people who have abstained from voting must also be taken into account. And then there is no sufficient majority.

The largest party in the Austrian coalition, the conservative ÖVP, voted for the proceedings against Hungary.
