@thisislieven@c.im In the Council most votes require a qualified majority and without Orban we now have a compact Eastern flank. The issue might concern Southern or Western countries that aren't directly threatened by Russia, like Italy, Spain and Portugal. I wondered yesterday why Italy wasn't mentioned in VdL's speech. That may be the reason. Spain can be leveraged on the migrants issue, but Italy? Public debt is lower now and there isn't a migrants crisis.
