Macron says not in favor of kicking Hungary out of the EU
PARIS, June 25 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said he is not in favor of excluding Hungary, where a law that bans schools from using materials seen as promoting homosexuality has just been voted, from the European Union.
"It's an existential question for Europeans, it's a big debate. I'm not in favor of using the article 50 (initiating an exclusion from the EU)," Macron told a news conference.
Earlier the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban to respect LGBT rights or leave the European Union. (Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Writing by Benoit Van Overstraeten; Editing by Matthieu Protard)
