    EU is a failed project if a single Orbanistan could block the important decisions for years, trading votes for more EU money to support his corrupt regime.

        Okay, but would that also mean Germany can’t veto more debt?

        Despite Hungary abusing the veto, other players also like it.

          Germany, as per the article is one of the countries that wants more qualified majority decisions

          Other countries, such as Germany and France, are pushing for qualified majority voting in the areas of foreign affairs and security.

          Also, what debt are you talking about?
          Individual national budgets are not subject to EU vetos. And the Maastricht criteria that are supposed to regulate national debt ratios are three decades old by now.
