Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary said on Wednesday that he would continue to urge Hungarian legislators to vote in favor of accepting Sweden as a member of NATO, a day after Turkey, the only other holdout, endorsed the Nordic nation's entry to the military alliance.
Most analysts questioned that explanation, noting that Mr. Orban has a tight grip on the governing Fidesz party and that its members, who constitute a large majority in Parliament, invariably follow the prime minister's instructions. He said on Wednesday that he wanted Parliament to vote in favor of Sweden's membership at the first possible opportunity, but gave no indication of when that might be.
