Article 7 allows the Council of the EU to revoke membership rights of membership countries, without reducing their membership obligations.

There is currently talk to invoke this against Hungary, which is using the unanimity requirement of the Council to extract benefits from the EU.

Article 7 requires:

  • 80% of membership states (the 'target country' doesn't get a vote), i.e. 21/26

  • Simple majority in the European Parliament

  • Update 2025-07-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified that their intent for a YES resolution was the triggering of Article 7(3), which results in the suspension of voting rights.

The original description ambiguously mixed the description of Article 7(3) with the voting thresholds for Article 7(1).

Due to this ambiguity, the creator is resolving the market to N/A.
