Угорщина, через нового прем’єр-міністра Петера Мадяра, продовжує вести складну політичну ділу щодо вступу України до Європейського Союзу. Незважаючи на те, що Мадяр у червні скасував тривале вето Угорщини на українську заявку, він все одно чітко демонструє опір до прискорення процесу вступу. Це стало особливо помітним під час першого саміту Європейської ради, де він категорично заперечував можливість швидкого відкриття решти переговорних кластерів.
На початку червня, коли Мадяр зняв вето, багато в Брюсселі та Києві вважали це значущим кроком, який мог би завершити багаторічну політику попереднього уряду Віктора Орбана, який активно блокував українське вступ. Президент Європейської комісії Урсула фон дер Ляєн та голова Європейської ради Антоніо Кошто висловили позитивну оцінку цього рішення. Однак Мадяр швидко змінив позицію, відмовляючись від будь-якого прискорення процесу, хоча він зобов’язався виконувати умови, що були домовлені з Україною щодо прав угорської меншини.
Прем’єр-міністр Угорщини відмовився від включення в спільні висновки слова “якнайшвидше”, що викликало бажання швидкого відкриття решти кластерів. Він пояснив, що це було зроблено, щоб уникнути будь-яких натяків на те, що відкриття одного кластера може призвести до відкриття всіх інших. Таким чином, Мадяр намагається зберігати контроль над темпою вступу України, хоча це суперечить загальним амбіціям ЄС.
Критики, такі як Даниель Гегедуш, заступник директора Інституту європейської політики, вважають, що Мадяр не є проукраїнським політиком, і його уряд не проводить прозорого діалогу з громадськістю щодо вступу України. Він зазначає, що зняття вето з першого кластера було зроблено головним чином для демонстрації нової конструктивної позиції уряду. Це, за словами Гегедуша, відновлює статус Угорщини як надійного партнера ЄС.
Незабаром після зняття вето, Мадяр досяг домовленості з фон дер Ляєн щодо розблокування 16,4 млрд євро, які були заморожені для Угорщини. Обидві сторони наголосили, що ця домовленість не має жодного стосунку до рішення щодо України. Однак це вказує на те, що Мадяр намагається зберігати баланс між відкриттям першого кластера та збереженням контролю над подальшим процесом.
Угорщина також заблокувала у Брюсселі ухвалення спільної позиції щодо відкриття решти п’яти кластерів. Европейська комісія знизила свої амбіції, плануючи відкрити лише два кластери в липні. Мадяр представляє свою позицію як захист кандидатів із Західних Балкан, таких як Чорногорія, Албанія, Північна Македонія та Сербія, які працювали над вступом до ЄС протягом багатьох років.
Відкриття першого кластера відбулося після укладення двосторонньої угоди між Угорщиною та Україною щодо прав угорської меншини. Це питання довго було джерелом напруженості між Будапештом і Києвом. Партія Мадяра, «Тиса», зараз стверджує, що будь-який подальший прогрес вимагає виконання угоди, деталі якої не були оприлюднені. Раніше Мадяр заявляв, що готовий зустрітися з президентом Зеленським у Закарпатті після досягнення угоди. Це вказує на те, що він намагається зберігати діалог, хоча й з обмеженою відкритістю.

UNIANParty-alignedCenter11 hr. ago Hungary agreed to open the sixth cluster of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU, - mediaThe article reports that Hungary has agreed to send an official letter to Ukraine and Moldova initiating the sixth negotiation area under EU accession talks, which concerns external relations. This marks progress after Hungary had previously blocked the start of negotiations on four other areas since June 23. The move is described as a partial softening of Hungary’s position but does not signal the end of challenges. The article notes that while this is the first step toward opening discussions, the formal start of negotiations will require further steps, including the European Commission drafting joint positions supported by all member states. It also mentions that President Zelenskyy had called for all remaining negotiation areas to be opened by July, but this has not yet been achieved. The article highlights that only one negotiation area—on core values such as rule of law and fundamental rights—has officially been opened.

Ukrainska PravdaIndependentCenter13 hr. ago Hungary unblocked the opening of the sixth cluster in negotiations with Ukraine MediaUkrainska Pravda reports that Hungary has agreed to open the sixth negotiation cluster regarding Ukraine and Moldova’s accession to the EU, focusing on foreign policy, security policy, trade policy, and relations with third countries. This follows a previous blockage by Budapest on June 23, which prevented the sending of official letters from the EU to Kyiv and Chisinau. The move marks partial easing of Hungary’s position but does not resolve all issues, as Budapest still opposes starting procedures for the remaining four clusters. President Zelenskyy had called for opening all five clusters in July, but only the first cluster, 'Foundations,' has been officially opened so far. The process involves Ukraine and Moldova presenting their positions, followed by the European Commission drafting joint negotiating positions. While the formal opening of the sixth cluster is expected on July 14 during an EU ministers’ meeting, there is no consensus in Brussels for simultaneous opening of all clusters. Poland supports a gradual approach, aligning with growing sentiment among other member states.

UNIANParty-alignedCenter4 days ago Hungarians against accelerated EU accession of Ukraine: Euronews gives probable reasonsHungary's Prime Minister Peter Magyar removed his country's veto on Ukraine's first cluster of EU accession negotiations in June, signaling a new constructive approach by his government toward the EU. However, he has since opposed accelerating Ukraine's accession process, citing concerns over minority rights, fairness regarding the Western Balkans, and domestic political pressure. In an Euronews article, the reasons behind Magyar's firm stance were explained, noting that while his removal of the veto was welcomed in Brussels and Kyiv, he quickly tempered expectations at his first European Council summit, explicitly opposing any acceleration of Ukraine's EU entry. Magyar requested the removal of wording suggesting immediate progress on all negotiation tracks after the first cluster was opened. His position against expedited accession became central to his pre-election campaign, and representatives of Hungary's new government have criticized him for lacking transparency in discussing Ukraine's EU membership with the Hungarian public.
Bias read (Center): The article presents both Magyar's actions and the perspectives of critics like Daniel Hegedus, providing balanced views on the situation without overtly favoring one side. It does not use loaded language or selectively omit context, maintaining neutrality in its framing.
