Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, claims that 26 EU member states were considering depriving Hungary of its right to veto had it blocked the decision to start negotiations with Ukraine.
I think there are countries that realize that there are many consequences to Hungary being suspended. For now they can hide behind Hungary which will veto things they disapprove of but doing so publically would get scrutinized. We’ve seen something like this when Netherlands has been blocking new Schengen members on their own for years but in reality Austria (and probably some other countries) was against it too.
