Finland’s Orpo and Rantanen welcome EU scrutiny of Hungary

PRIME MINISTER Petteri Orpo (NCP) and Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen (PS) have expressed their support for scrutinising the actions of Hungary as president of the Council of the EU.

Orpo told YLE at the Paris Olympics on Saturday that it is important that the European Commission reviews and responds to Hungary’s decision to expand its fast-track visa scheme to cover eight additional countries, including Belarus and Russia.
