Vote on Sweden's NATO bid delayed in Hungarian parliament

A vote in Hungary’s parliament to ratify Sweden’s accession to NATO was adjourned due to the absence of ruling party lawmakers, local media reported Monday. 

The move was postponed after members of the ruling party, which has a two-thirds majority in parliament, did not attend the meeting.

Last week, Hungary said it would back Türkiye's decision on Sweden's bid to join NATO.
