EU slår till mot Ungern, liksom tidigare mot Polen

Ungern – Wikipedia Hungary is set to permanently lose access to just over €1bn in EU funds on January 1, as disputes between Budapest and Brussels hamper the country’s capacity to drag itself out of recession — and undermine Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s bid for re-election in 2026. Of the €6.3bn in funds frozen by Brussels over concerns about the rule of law, Budapest will permanently lose €1.04bn because this amount must be allocated by the end of 2024 or it expires. Hungary is also missing out on €1mn per day in funding from the EU over its illegal treatment of asylum seekers; its total losses over the treatment of asylum seekers will amount to €200mn by the year’s end.
