BUDAPEST, Hungary—Hungary’s parliament on Monday approved Finland’s bid to join Nato, putting an end to months of delays and bringing the Nordic country one step closer to becoming a full member of the Western military alliance.
Adding to the uncertainly over Sweden’s bid are Turkey’s own objections amid accusations that Stockholm is too soft on groups that it deems to be terror organizations. Turkey is now the only one of the 30 Nato members not to have ratified Finland’s accession. Full unanimity is required to admit a new member into the alliance.
In an interview with the AP at the United Nations Friday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said the West’s steady criticism of Hungary on democratic and cultural issues had made its government reluctant to offer support on practical matters, specifically Nato’s buildup against Russia.
