I agree with the sentiment but how exactly are you going to do that? I think it’s an open secret by now that there are more countries than Hungary that are aware that they’d be next on the chopping block potentially and will quietly block this from ever progressing.
The only one that backed Hungary’s bullshit was Poland and they recently had a change in government and are in general not a big fan of Russia or the way Hungary is sucking up to them
Polish autocrats are gone (replaced by approved neoliberal autocrats but that’s another story). You have Slovakia that will reject this obviously. Behind Slovakia there’s probably Austria and half of Eastern European members and that’s just for the obvious ones. There are likely issues getting it by other small member states who will be threatened by the precedent.
Now there’s Slovakia, and by the end of the year they might be joined by Czechia.

Slovakia is enough but not the only one. There is more Russian poison in the system like Austria who’s going to remain quiet as long as there’s at least one country that’s openly against. There’s a lot of small member states that aren’t too hot about this either if they have even the least amount of survival instinct.

I am not the one making a slippery slope argument. I’m saying it is a likely assumption that at least some of the smaller states are thinking like that. There’s 27 member states with very different interests even if they share values.
I want Orban gone same as the next guy, I’m questioning if it’s possible this way and therefore if it’s worth going over this over a 1000th time. I’m impatient like that ;)
I’m of the opinion that if a country no longer fulfills the democratic standards they needed for entering into the EU they can mend their ways of else be booted.
Orban has rigged the Hungarian democracy to no longer be democratic.
