The EU could be heading toward a major reform of its veto system, with Germany’s SPD proposing a new approach that could eventually remove national vetoes on...
If they are existing members, they have already proven to fulfill the requirements. Hence it is theoretically easy for them to rejoin 🤷
Having a system where existing states can regress on vital criteria that were necessary to join with no real risk of expulsion just creates a system of impunity that enables veto abuse.
But clearly the problem isn’t the veto power, but that the system allows for such regression to happen in the first place.
Removing the veto power just enables for that impunity to fester and destroy the EU from within.
Nothing in the EU is easy, especially with the Veto power.
They will Veto anything that wants to remove them.
So the EU will literally have to disband to kick them out.
And if they wanted to rejoin, and the Veto was still in place, other countries would probably Veto them joining again.
I’m genuinely unsure if you have no idea what you’re talking about, or if you’re trolling or misguided, the Veto power is a big issue in the EU and is to a degree destroying it, because the EU can’t act unless literally everyone agrees.
You are literally quoting an article written by the pro-Orban and Orban allied oligarch owned Euronews that of course tries to sell the false narrative that Hungary can’t be kicked out.

The video I linked you earlier is Anti-Orban, and says the same.

Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union is a procedure in the treaties of the European Union (EU) to suspend certain rights from a member state. While rights can be suspended, there is no mechanism to expel a state from the union.
They can easily rejoin…
Brother what? You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, or you’re trolling.

The corresponding EU treaty article explicitly says that the country affected can’t veto it. Anything else would be obviously stupid.
Brother, stop talking Bullshit

Member states can leave the EU, but can the bloc kick one of them out?
The short answer is: no. The long answer is: it would take years of haggling and then most probably fail.
The reason is quite simple: The EU simply never planned for that possibility.
"Legally speaking, we don’t have the apparatus to expel a member state

And no, suspension-of-rights is not expulsion.
Indefinite suspension is practically the same 🤷
No it absolutely isn’t, for one they will still benefit from free movement of people and goods.
