Original Note:
While a 🇪🇺 member state can be suspended, there is no provision to expel a member. A member state leaving would require amendments to the treaties and require unanimity, unanimity would be impossible to achieve if the state did not want to leave of its own free will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_7_of_the_Treaty_on_European_Union#:~:text=While%20a%20state%20can%20be,expel%20a%20member%20state%20outright.
