How EU Is Withholding Funding to Try to Rein in Hungary, Poland

 Dec. 22, the European Commission effectively froze almost €22 billion of Hungary’s 2021-27 cohesion funding, money set aside for poorer members to promote sustainable development. 

The reason: Hungary’s failure to comply with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, in particular in the protection of academic freedom, refugees and LGBTQ people

Poland is incurring a daily fine of €1 million a day for flouting an EU court order to dissolve a disciplinary chamber for judges, a sum that has grown to more than €400 million. Poland filed a complaint in December aimed at stopping the fines.
