    This is simply nonsense. Politicians from larger countries (especially Germany) are pushing the idea that expulsion/suspension isn’t possible because they see it as an convenient argument to consolidate their power (and Orban’s labour supression politics to provide cheap labour to German car companies was also popular with them).

      Do you have any source to back this up, this sounds like hogwash to me.

      The fact that you said you could just kick them out, or even said it would be easy for them to rejoin, which is blatantly false. Makes it clear you don’t know what you’re talking about or acting in bad faith.

        Sources for Hungary having very low wages and lots of German companies outsourcing there as a result are easy to find. Asking for sources for something like that is arguing in bad faith…

        And article 7 clearly spells out the suspension of membership rights, which is when taken to their logical conclusion practically the same as expulsion, but it is obviously also possible to reverse that. Arguing purely over semantics like you seem to be doing here is clearly in bad faith.
